JEFFERSON CITY, MO – The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), along with the Governor’s Organ Donation Advisory Committee and their partners are pleased to recognize top performing local license offices for their efforts to register individuals and collect contributions to support the Donor Registry System and education efforts. 

Local license offices are responsible for over 97 percent of the 3.8 million registered Missouri organ donors.

Awards are calculated on a quarterly basis throughout the state fiscal year, as well as overall fiscal year and percent of change between fiscal years.
