The Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency awarded St. Tammany Health System with its Platinum Recognition award for 2021, the agency’s highest-level recognition in its Workplace for Life campaign, which spotlights hospitals for their promotion of organ donor registration.
While the nation’s healthcare community faced unprecedented changes and challenges related to COVID-19, the 2021 Hospital Campaign saw encouraging participation numbers, according to LOPA rep Susana Ruddock. In all, 1,659 small and large hospitals worked with donation organizations to promote organ, eye and tissue donation, and prompted 27,389 people to sign up to be donors.
