Niagara Health Awarded Hospital Achievement Award

Niagara Health is being recognized by Ontario Health’s Trillium Gift of Life Network for its outstanding organ and tissue donation efforts in 2022/23. For the fourth time, Niagara Health has received the Hospital Achievement Award – Provincial Conversion Rate for reaching a conversion rate exceeding the target of 63 per cent set by the provincial network. The conversion rate is the percentage of potential organ donors who went on to become actual donors. In 2022/2023, Niagara Health supported 16 organ donors, which led to 41 organs donated for transplant, saving 37 lives. Additionally, there were 97 tissue donors, enhancing the lives of many others. While 90 per cent of Ontarians support organ donation, Niagara Health says only 35 per cent register, which takes two minutes at BeaDonor.ca
