How a conversation can save a life-DonateLife Week - Australia

Clarence Valley Daily Examiner

IT'S DonateLife Week, our national awareness week to promote organ and tissue donation.

This week is the time to have a conversation with your family about your wishes because in Australia the family is always asked to confirm the donation wishes of the deceased.

In an effort to encourage these conversations on Thursday the Mid North Coast Local Health District will be hosting a stall at the Coffs Harbour Farmers Market between 8am and 3pm.

Specialist nurse Anne Judd will be there to talk to people about making this difficult decision.
