Hospital Donor Memorial Events

Hospitals and their medical staff are key to helping donation occur. They call when there is a potential organ or tissue donor knowing their call can mean new life or restored health. To acknowledge their donors, several hospitals have Donor Memorials within their buildings to highlight the compassionate loving act of donation. The following hospitals will be holding Donor Memorial events in VA and FL:
