850 hospital staff assembled at the Fairplex Conference Center in Pomona to learn about optimal best practices and trends in the donation and transplantation.

Billed as the largest collaborative conference in the nation, we were led by national faculty members Thomas A. Nakagawa, MD, FAAP, FCCM, Professor, Anesthesiology and Pediatrics, Director, Pediatric Critical Care, Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Nader Habashi, MD, Medical Director for Multi-trauma Critical Care Unit, R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma, Center, University of Maryland Medical School of Medicine.  


Topics covered included donation after circulatory death (DCD); the impact of administrative consent policies; the role of Palliative Care, Social Work and Spiritual leaders; hospital administrative consent policies and digital integration between OPO and Hospital EMR systems.
Reg Green, author of "The Nicholas Effect: A Boy’s Gift to the World" along with Donate Life Ambassadors inspired conference attendees with their stories of hope.
