Exploring the Opportunity of Tissue Donation for Hospice Patients

3 Reviews

$49.50 – $275.00

Tissue transplants can restore a meaningful quality of life and even be life-saving for many people. These transplants are only possible because of the generosity of donors and their families who make the decision to donate tissues such as corneas, skin, bone, heart valves and vessels. While organ donation is not possible for hospice patients, the opportunity to donate tissue following death may provide meaning-making opportunities and comfort for hospice patients and families through their legacy of donation. This program will review donation eligibility, recipient outcomes, and clinical applications of donated tissue, the referral process, and the aftercare support provided to donor families.
