Hospital Pays Tribute to Young Organ Donor
The Giving Coast
SRQ DAILY MONDAY BUSINESS EDITION
MONDAY SEP 21, 2020 |
Caregivers lined the hallway from the intensive care unit to the operating room at Doctors Hospital of Sarasota to honor a young man and his family. The 25-year-old Sarasota County resident was taken from the ICU, where he had been a patient, to the OR to donate his organs. Six organs from the donor went to five different recipients. His heart was donated to a recipient in South Carolina, his lungs to a recipient in Miami, his liver was donated to a recipient in Georgia, one kidney was donated to a recipient in Tampa and another kidney was donated to a recipient in Largo, Florida. To honor the patient, caregivers silently lined the hallway for what is known as an “honor walk.” It is a way to honor the generosity of the donor for sharing the gift of life.
