Fishers Police Encourage Organ Donations

The Fishers Police Department raises the Indiana Donor Network flag at the police headquarters building

Janice Langford has a story to tell.  She told that story to Fishers Police Officers and Mayor Scott Fadness, about her family’s involvement in the Indiana Donor Network, a group working to encourage Hoosiers to donate their organs.

Janice’s 23-year-old son died in a 2014 Arizona accident.  Her son donated both kidneys, a pancreas, a liver, a heart and two eye corneas.  Her family had the chance to meet three of the donation recipients, including a 2-year-old boy that received a kidney.

Her story was told as Fishers Police prepared to raise the Indiana Donor Network flag at the George Kehl headquarters building.  This is the second year the Fishers Police Department is flying the Indiana Donor Network flag

Logan Miller of the Indiana Donor Network praised the partnership between his organization and Fishers Law Enforcement.

If you, or someone you know, would like to become an organ donor, there are a number of ways to do that.  You can make that indication on your driver’s license through the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.  Another way is through the organization’s Web site, www.IndianaDonorNetwork.org
