Governor Christie Signs Jaden’s Law to Promote Bone Marrow Donation Awareness
Written by icepn.com
Trenton, NJ – Governor Chris Christie today signed Jaden’s Law, a measure designed to save lives by promoting bone marrow donation awareness in New Jersey. The bill, S-2038, was inspired by and honors the memory of Jaden Hilton, a 3-year-old boy who lost his battle with Leukemia in 2007 after a suitable bone marrow match could not be located.
‘Bone marrow donation is a critical need that deserves the same attention and level of awareness that other lifesaving donor programs, such as blood, organ and tissue donation, currently have in our society,’ said Governor Chris Christie. ‘I am pleased to sign this legislation to honor the memory of Jaden Hilton and encourage the public to learn more about the donation process, sign up with the registry and save lives.’
Under the new law, the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) is required to develop an online brochure that outlines options to patients for becoming a bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donor, including registration with the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP). The brochure, which will be displayed on the Department’s website, will also answer common questions about bone marrow and PBSC donation.
Eyewitness news reporter Anne-Marie Green takes a look at a new law and the difficulty minority patients face when it comes to finding a bone marrow match.
