Many providers in the healthcare environment have limited exposure and experience to organ donation and/or have only experienced a small portion of the donation process. This webinar will focus on the critical importance of consistency and transparency between healthcare providers and OPO teams to meet the mutual goal of supporting all donors and donor families.
