RELATED INFORMATION
QUICK FACTS
Launched in June 2011, the Workplace Partnership for Life (WPFL) Hospital Campaign brings organ, eye, and tissue donation organizations together with hospitals to create fun donation registration drives, social media campaigns, and other events to raise awareness and increase donor registration within the hospital's facilities and local community. As a highly credible source for health information, hospitals have a unique ability to educate patients, visitors, staff, vendors, and the entire hospital community about the importance of organ donor registration. A very successful organ donation registration campaign conducted by the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA) and the Louisiana Hospital Association (LHA) has been the inspiration for this national campaign. |
