Reedsburg Area Medical Center has a long history of supporting organ, tissue and eye donation. To celebrate National Donate Life Month in April, RAMC will join hundreds of other hospitals and organizations with a nation-wide Donate Life flag-raising ceremony and moment of silence. This will take place on April 8th at 1:08 pm near the flagpole outside the hospital main entrance.
The purpose is to honor donors and their families while raising awareness of the need for organ, tissue, and eye donors. This event elevates the importance of registering your donation decision on the state donor registry.
For more information and to register your decision, please visit HeroicDeed.com. By honoring donors and their families, we make the gift of life possible for the more than 108,000 people who currently await a life-saving organ transplant and the thousands more whose lives will be dramatically improved through tissue and eye donation.
This year’s theme, “Leave a Legacy,” uses trees as a symbol of life and connection. Just as trees grow and support each other in a forest, donation connects people – donors, recipients, and their families. Like a tree that grows and stands for generations, a donor’s gift leaves a legacy of hope and life for generations. Help us to honor and remember both living and deceased donors and bring new life and inspiration to those waiting for a second chance at life!
