TidalHealth was again honored to partner with the Gift of Life Donor Program to celebrate Donate Life Month on our Seaford campus on Thursday, April 10, 2025, to honor our donors and donor families and raise awareness for the need for organ and tissue donations.
At this year's event, Gift of Life Donor Program Volunteer Ambassador Vic Carlstrom of Lewes, Delaware, spoke about the miraculous gift he received as a heart transplant recipient and his passion for raising awareness about organ donation.
Last year at TidalHealth Nanticoke, we had 1 organ donor and 14 tissue donors. Since the first of this year at our Seaford hospital, 6 patients have donated tissue gifts. Just 1 tissue donor can help heal up to 70 patients including cornea, bone, skin, heart valves, and veins.
During the month of April and beyond, TidalHealth will proudly fly the Donate Life Month flag on the flag poles outside the Guerrieri Heart & Vascular Institute at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional and the Emergency Department at TidalHealth Nanticoke.
Give hope and help save lives by registering your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor at your local DMV, on RegisterMe.org or in your iPhone Health App.
