New data shows that last year set a record for organ donations.
Officials with The Center for Organ Recovery and Education (CORE) say the Western Pennsylvania region, along with surrounding areas, had over 400 organ donors.
The donations help save the lives of 928 individuals across the nation.
Officials also say there were 840 cornea donors and over 1,400 tissue donors.
The group says that the record number of donors is over 20 percent higher than any previous record.
