Florida Hospital Flagler receives award

The Daytona Beach News Journal  | Skyler Swisher

PALM COAST -- Florida Hospital Flagler earned the TransLife Award of Excellence for achieving a 100 percent organ donation rate for two consecutive years.

A 100 percent organ donation rate means that all eligible patients who met the criteria to be an organ donor actually became one.

TransLife is a federally designated organ procurement organization for 10 counties in east Central Florida. It is responsible for the recovery, preservation and distribution of donated organs to critically ill patients.

The Award of Excellence recognizes hospital clinical and quality performance practices that contribute to high rates of lifesaving organ donations meeting or exceeding national goals.
