Education Resources
Through our Community Outreach and Education, we provide guest speakers and information on organ donation, especially living organ donation, and encourage those to register to be organ donors.
Education is important for individuals to make informed choices about their healthcare. The foundation’s outreach and education provides a comprehensive educational program covering the importance of organ donation, a summary overview of how organ donation works, and first hand accounts of lives that have been saved through organ donation.
This program is available to High School, STEM classes, nursing students, college students, businesses, and civic groups.
