Sept. 16, 2020

Milford Regional has earned national recognition for its efforts to increase organ, eye, and tissue donor registrations across the state through the Workplace Partnership for Life (WPFL) Hospital Organ Donation Campaign. The WPFL is a national initiative that unites the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the organ donation community with workplaces across the nation in spreading the word about the importance of donation.

The WPFL Hospital Organ Donation Campaign challenges hospitals and healthcare organizations to “let life bloom” by educating their staff, patients, visitors, and communities about the critical need for organ, eye, and tissue donation, including offering opportunities to register as organ donors.

Milford Regional was one of 1,700 organizations to participate in the 2020 campaign.

“Milford Regional recognizes the importance of organ donation and is committed to awareness and registration for this act of giving that provides healing within our community,” says Edward J. Kelly, Milford Regional President & CEO.
