Organ and tissue donation is a selfless gift that offers life and hope
to those in need and to their loved ones. During these challenging times,
when hope seems hard to come by for many, we believe it’s critical
to add our voice and support to missions that help create meaningful change.
That is why during the month of August, which is National Minority Donor
Awareness Month, we are partnering with Gift of Hope to help expand awareness
about the benefits of donation.
Gift of Hope’s donation service area includes multiculturally rich
communities that generously
offer hope to others through the gift of donation. During NMDA month, we
are committed to help inspire and empower minority groups to become registered
donors and to authorize donation on a loved one’s behalf. We also
recognize
minority organ and tissue donors, their families, minority transplant recipients
and the healthcare professionals who enable the gift of hope through donation
and transplantation.
Our contribution to Gift of Hope and our multicultural community during
NMDA month, is to display facts, information and stories on organ and
tissue donation on our digital screens located in waiting areas throughout
the hospital.
Join us in support of this lifesaving cause by becoming a registered donor,
sharing your decision to offer the gift of donation with your family,
and authorizing donation on behalf of loved ones.
Registering to offer the gift of hope is easy, simply text COMMIT to 51555. Share this information with friends and family and start the donation
conversation today.
