Durant, OK, October 22, 2024 – AllianceHealth Durant earned recognition for its efforts to increase organ, eye and tissue donor registrations across the state through LifeShare of Oklahoma and the DoNation Campaign.
LifeShare of Oklahoma is the organization in the state responsible for organ and tissue donation.
The DoNation Campaign is a national initiative through Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the organ donation community with workplaces across the nation in spreading the word about the importance of donation.
The DoNation Campaign challenges hospitals and healthcare organizations to educate their staff, patients, visitors, and communities about the critical need for organ, eye, and tissue donation, including offering opportunities to register as organ donors. AllianceHealth Durant earned Platinum recognition for conducting awareness and registry activities between October 2023 and April 2024, prompting new donor registrations during that period.
AllianceHealth Durant was one of 55 Oklahoma Hospitals to participate in the 2024 campaign in Oklahoma.
The 2024 Hospital Campaign efforts added 9,134 registrations to state registries. Since its inception in 2011, the campaign has generated 639,399 registrations, as well as united donation advocates at hospitals with representatives from LifeShare.
Every nine minutes, another person is added to the national organ transplant waiting list, reaffirming the critical and growing need for more registered organ, eye, and tissue donors.
