Kincardine, ON, Canada / ShorelineToday.ca Dec 21, 2020 6:11 AM Despite being a small hospital group, the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance are becoming a leader in organ tissue donation. They were given a Provincial Conversion Rate Award by the Trillium Gift of Life Network earlier this month for their efforts in integrating organ and tissue donation into quality end of life care. Pathologist and Co-chair of the HPHA Organ and Tissue Donation Committee Dr. Tyler Rouse says credits the hard work of the staff in being able to bring the number of donor registration up.
Dr. Rouse says the more times people discuss their wishes with their families, the better the hospital will be in increasing the number of potential donors.
