HIGH SCHOOL OUTREACH INITIATIVE
Every three days someone in Ontario dies because there is not an organ available. It doesn't have to be this way. One organ and tissue donor can save up to eight lives and enhance the lives of 75 others.

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
Presentations provide secondary school students the unique opportunity to hear from healthcare professionals about organ and tissue donation and transplantation.
Presentations are delivered by healthcare professionals from the three top-tier transplant hospitals in Toronto: SickKids, University Health Network, and St. Michael’s Hospital along with a donor family member, transplant recipient, or living organ donor.
Presentations are informative, engaging and flexible; they can be assembly-style or given in more intimate classroom settings. Presentations are 75 - 90 minutes in length and can also be adapted to varying class sizes with Q&A with the students.
Students will also be provided with organ and tissue donation materials to take home to share with their families by Ontario Health | Trillium Gift of Life Network.
