Two HSHS hospitals — HSHS St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay and HSHS St. Clare Memorial Hospital in Oconto Falls — were recognized by UW Organ and Tissue Donation for an ongoing commitment to saving and improving lives through organ and tissue donation.
Both hospitals, along with the 23 other award recipients, were honored during a ceremony in April in Madison.
HSHS St. Clare received the “Excellence in Tissue Donation” award, given to recognize effective partnerships between hospital and tissue bank staff in delivered, coordinated and compassionate care, as well as stellar communication to families about tissue donation.
HSHS St. Vincent received a “Bronze Award of Hope,” given to hospitals that achieve or exceed at least one of UW Organ and Tissue’s metrics to maximize organ donation.
These awards also honor and remember the generosity of donors and the hospital colleagues who are on the front lines of this important work.
