Building a Culture of Donation
A South Carolina Hospital Partner Summit
Building a Culture of Donation: A Hospital Partner Summit is a full-day educational event designed to bring together hospital leaders, clinicians and donation advocates from across South Carolina to strengthen collaboration and advance the donation process.
Through expert education, hospital success stories, shared best practices, interactive discussions and action planning, participants will explore innovative strategies to build and sustain a culture of donation within their organizations. Together, we will strengthen partnerships, inspire innovation and create sustainable cultures of donation that honor every legacy and give more patients the opportunity for lifesaving transplantation.
