“The impact of one organ and tissue donor is extraordinary. One organ donor can save as many as eight lives through the gifts of their lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, pancreas, and intestines. One tissue donor can improve the lives of 75 or more people”. Tennessee Donor Services
April is Organ Donation Month so we are pleased to kick off this special month early with a very informative session on organ donation with Tennessee Donor Services. Twenty people die every day waiting for a life saving transplant. It’s important that we talk about this. Dawn Benjamin with Tennessee Donor Services will guide us in a discussion on organ donation and answer any questions you may have. Dawn will be covering the facts about organ and issue donation; the need for transplants; and how to register one’s decision to pass on the gift of life.

This session will be hybrid, you may join us in person or by Zoom.
