At Quinte Health, we believe that supporting organ and tissue donation is a united effort. Together, we’re #strongertogether in our endeavour to save and enhance lives through donation.

We are excited to share that Quinte Health has received a Provincial Eligible Approach Rate Award from Ontario Health (Trillium Gift of Life Network). This recognition reflects our exceptional practices in initiating discussions about organ and tissue donation with eligible patients and their families during critical end-of-life moments. While the target approach rate is set at 90%, Quinte Health achieved an impressive 100% for the 2023/2024 period.

“So many members of the Quinte Health team play an important role in organ and tissue donation. This award would not be possible without the care, compassion and dedication of all staff,” said Nicole Duchrow, Director of Critical Care, Emergency, Community, and Rural Services. “This award not only highlights our commitment to saving lives through organ and tissue donation but also honours the patients and families who have chosen to be donors. Thank you to everyone for your unwavering dedication and teamwork.”

In 2023/2024, hospitals in Ontario supported 380 organ donors, providing life-saving organ transplants to 1,075 individuals, as well as 1,900 tissue donors, enhancing the lives of many others.

Every Ontarian has the potential to save or significantly enhance a life one day by registering at BeADonor.ca and speaking to their family about their donation decision.
