Tonight myself and some of my amazing peers got to represent Swedish American Hospital at the UW Organ and Tissue Donation Hospital Awards Celebration where we were presented with an Excellence in Tissue Donation Award. During the ceremony, we heard from the wife of a donor who discussed the positive impact donation and those caring for her husband made on her during such a tragic time. We also heard from a heart recipient about what her life was like while on the waiting list for her life-saving gift and the celebration that occurred when she was informed that they found a heart that was a perfect match. I am honored to be Co-chair of an Organ and Tissue Donation team within an organization that is full of nurses, RTs, physicians, and case workers who go above and beyond for our patients but especially for donors and donor families. We are constantly working to educate our community about the gift of donation and developing new tools to help donor families during such a difficult time. I love our partnership with UW Health and am am incredibly humbled by all of the work that is done by all of the UW OTD partner hospitals. #trustthebest . . #organdonation #organandtissuedonation #uwotd #donatelife #nursegang #icunurse #intensivecare #criticalcare #ccunurse #icu #ccu #neuro #trauma #cardiac #nurse #nurses #nursing #nurselife #medsurg #hospital #hospitallife #nursesofinstagram #nursesonly #nurseanesthetist #opc #uwhealth #swedishamerican #swedishamericanhospital (at Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center)

Hey friends and family. This upcoming April I am running in the Red Shoe Run for donor awareness and was hoping to be able to do a little fundraising. I am looking to raise $500 over the next two months before the raise. Attached is a link for my fundraising page with a little more information and for Instagram I’ll include the clickable link in my bio. https://www.raceplanner.com/donate/Christiaan-s-fund-for-donor-awareness. #organdonation #uwotd #organandtissuedonation #donorawareness #donatelife #redshoerun
