These awards recognize the care our staff and physicians provide to patients and families during some of life's most difficult moments, and the generosity of donors who make the gift of life possible. Each act of donation helps to improve and save lives across Ontario, and we are proud to support this life-changing work with care and respect.
While these awards reflect the collaboration of many across our hospital, the critical care unit (CCU) plays a central role in organ and tissue donation, as most organ donors are cared for in critical-care settings.
CCU staff are responsible for identifying patients who may be eligible for donation, initiating timely notification to Ontario Health (Trillium Gift of Life Network), and maintaining the medical stability of potential donors to preserve organ function.
