Senators Urge More Localized Use of Donor Organs
— "Too many of our organs are leaving" the geographic area, says Sen. Roger Marshall, MD

"The Midwest, where I'm from ... is famous that we have a higher organ donor rate than the [East or West] coasts do typically," said Sen. Roger Marshall, MD (R-Kansas). "And you know, there's a concern that too many of our organs are leaving the Midwest."
