We are excited to have hosted the final OneLegacy Symposium of 2024, titled “Foundations of Donation: Back to the Basics for a Better Tomorrow”, on October 23 at the Azusa Transplant Recovery Center. With over 200 attendees from 75 hospitals represented, the event provided an exceptional platform for healthcare professionals to connect, exchange insights, and reaffirm our shared commitment to saving lives through organ, eye, and tissue donation. ???? Special Thanks to Our Hospital Partners Your unwavering dedication to our mission is the foundation of our success. Together, we are making a profound impact on donor families and patients awaiting transplants. Today, we were reminded of the critical role each partner plays in closing the gap for the 21,000 individuals in California and 9,000 patients in the OneLegacy Donation Service Area awaiting their lifesaving gift. From timely referrals to compassionate family conversations, understanding the fundamentals of donation ensures that every opportunity to save lives is maximized. Key Takeaways: Referral Process: Alonzo Urita and Trevor Woolsey, MHA emphasized that prompt and accurate referrals are the first crucial step in saving lives, ensuring no potential opportunity is missed. Compassionate Family Conversations: Nathan Pelz shared best practices for approaching families with empathy and respect during their time of grief, influencing their willingness to consider donation. Donor Management: Michael Mu?oz Romero discussed strategies for maximizing organ viability, ensuring that more lives are saved with each precious gift. Organ Allocation and Recipient Qualifications: Wendy Escobedo, DNP, RN, PHN, CCTN explored the complexities behind organ allocation, ensuring each gift reaches the patients most in need. In the fast-paced world of healthcare, revisiting these foundational principles is essential for ensuring that every aspect of the donation process is carried out with excellence. Our hospital partners are key to this mission, and by embracing these basics, we strengthen the future of donation and transplantation. Looking Ahead Together, we’ve laid the groundwork for continued success in donation and transplantation, and we’re excited to apply what we’ve learned to save more lives and bring hope to more families.
