I am a Regional Hospital Development Coordinator for an Organ Procurement Organization. One of my jobs is to educate hospital staff on when to call the OPO when a pt. has met certain clinical indicators. I am also a parent who had a daughter on the waiting list for over 5 years.

In the 8 years I have been in this job, I have been shocked at how many hospital staff do not understand or have a basis of understanding regarding organ donation.

Reaching the nursing population is essential. They are the ones on the front lines that can make a huge difference.
