Hot Springs Hosting Rose Ceremony to Recognize Organ, Tissue Donors

CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs will host their annual Rose Ceremony on Tuesday, April 25 at 6:00pm.

Families with loved ones who donated an organ or tissues in the past year are invited to be recognized and given a symbolic rose.

There will also be the unveiling of the Donor Wall outside the MICU/SICU with the donors’ pictures.

This event is inspired by the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day in which there is an organ and tissue float each year that has floragraphs from each state and a symbolic long stem rose with every donor’s name.

April is National Donate Life Month. It’s a month to raise awareness about donation, encourage Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors and to honor those that have saved lives through the gift of donation.
