About the dOnATION cAMPAIGN

The DoNation Campaign, sponsored by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, challenges healthcare organizations to educate employees, patients, visitors, and the community about the crucial need for organ, eye, and tissue donation and give them opportunities to sign up as donors.

The 2022 Hospital Campaign saw encouraging participation numbers. 1,333 small and large hospitals worked with donation organizations to promote organ, eye, and tissue donation and prompted 50,850 people to sign up to be donors! In the 11 years of the Hospital Campaign, partners have added more than 630,000 donor registrations—increasing the number of organs available for transplantation to improve the lives of others.

The 2023 Hospital Campaign is underway – be a part of this important initiative!
