QUICK FACTS

Launched in June 2011, the WPFL Hospital Campaign brings organ, eye, and tissue donation organizations together with hospitals to increase donor registration within their facilities and local communities.

As a highly credible source for health information, hospitals have a unique ability to educate patients, visitors, staff, vendors, and the entire hospital community about the importance of organ donor designation.

A very successful organ donation registration campaign conducted by the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA) and the Louisiana Hospital Association (LHA) has been the inspiration for this national campaign.

The national goal is to register 300,000 new donors by April 30, 2012.

How does the campaign work?

Activities are carried out in the hospital facilities and in the local community at large.
  • National Partners participate by promoting the WPFL Hospital Campaign to their membership and encouraging members to support the campaign.
