		Lincoln Memorial Health holds Gift of Hope flag raising ceremony to 
		shine light on organ donation
		[April 30, 2025] 
		Last Thursday, April 26, Lincoln Memorial Health held a Gift of 
		Hope flag raising ceremony to celebrate National Donate Life Month and 
		to highlight the need for organ, eye and tissue donors. 
 “April is National Donate Life Month, a time to educate about donation 
		and to honor and remember donors and the lives they have saved. Every 10 
		minutes a new person is added to the national transplant waiting list.”
 
 “A Gift of Hope flag ceremony is a simple and powerful way for families, 
		Hospital Partners, Gift of Hope state and community partners to honor 
		selfless donors, Donors in Spirit, and their families and reflect on the 
		hope offered during tragedy and loss.”
