AMASavesLives WI
This page is for AMA Chapters in the state of Wisconsin as part of the AMASavesLives Project. AMA Chapters in Wisconsin have a unique situation since Wisconsin launched an online registry on March 29, 2010 requiring everyone to sign up to be an organ donor including those who already have an orange dot on their driver’s license.
This forum is used to help Wisconsin AMA Chapters discuss how AMASavesLives can be used to help spread the word about the new online registry!
Add a comment to be part of the discussion!

Don’t forget to keep promoting AMASavesLives during the summer months…WI’s new registry is up to 14,000+ registrants since April 1st. We need to help get the word out that everyone needs to sign up again!
We also have printed forms you can use in Wisconsin as a back-up sign-up method in case you have all computers in use at your event. Send an email to contact@amasaveslives.com if you would like to have a copy of this form.
Here is a simple email message that can be used in WI that talks about the fact everyone needs to re-register in the state!
Hi Family and Friends:
I have an important favor to ask (I get extra credit for class) - - a task that will take only a few minutes and you can save lives!
Starting April 1 of this year Wisconsin launched an “online organ donor registration system.” That means EVERYONE in Wisconsin needs to reregister as an organ donor to get in the online database (even if you did so when you got your driver’s license). BECAUSE HARDLY ANYONE KNOWS THIS, PLEASE PASS ALONG.
Here is my favor - - please click the below link which allows you to register online. You will need your driver’s license to register. This will only take 2-3 minutes!
If you have a driver’s license in another state, the below link will also work.
PLEASE CLICK http://amasaveslives.com/register.php
Here are some helpful hints when you sign up….but you can really just follow the links.
1. Tell them that you learned about this from “AMA chapter in WI,” and select UW-Whitewater….this helps my school get credit!
2. Hit submit and select Wisconsin (or select your state if not from Wisconsin)
3. Then click http://www.donatelifewisconsin.org
4. Then click Please Add my Name to the Wisconsin Donor Registry
5. Then provide driver’s license number/last name and fill out other information
6. LASTLY….when they ask you how you heard about this, select…. AMA SAVES LIVES INITIATIVE
PS…PASS THIS ALONG TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW SO THEY CAN REGISTER TOO!
Thanks everyone!
