During National Donate Life Month 2019, WMCHealth celebrates the role we play in saving lives through organ and tissue donation. In 2018, our multi-disciplinary clinical and non-clinical teams performed 162 transplants using the latest therapies, technology, equipment and academic research combined with compassionate care for every patient, every time… always. Please join events planned throughout the month to celebrate, commemorate and learn more about the gift of life through transplant and organ donation.
