Individuals who are African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian or Pacific Islanders, American Indian or Alaskan Natives make up 60% of the national waiting list for an organ transplant.

Increasing the gap further is the fact that these communities are less likely to be a registered organ, eye, and tissue donor.
