Infinite Legacy & Frederick Health Celebrate Donate Life Month

Each April, Frederick Health partners with Infinite Legacy to bring attention to National Donate Life Month. The goal of National Donate Life Month is to increase awareness about the decision to be an organ donor, honoring deceased and living donors, and celebrating the lives they saved through donations.

A flag-raising ceremony to celebrate Donate Life Month will occur outside Frederick Health Hospital on April 10 at 11 AM. Organ transplant recipients, donor families, and representatives from Frederick Health and Infinite Legacy will be on hand to offer remarks. Members of the media are invited to attend.

“There is a critical need for organ donors as nearly 4,000 people in our region are waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant,” said Kenny Boyd, vice president and chief business development officer, Infinite Legacy. “We are grateful to Frederick Health for their steadfast commitment to saving and healing lives through organ and tissue donation.”

Infinite Legacy serves almost 10 million people in Maryland, Northern Virginia and Washington, DC by facilitating organ, eye and tissue donation and educate people about the critical importance of registering to be a donor. Infinite Legacy works with 68 hospitals and eight transplant centers to decrease the number of people waiting for a lifesaving transplant.

"Being an organ donor means giving someone else the chance to continue their story," said Angela Nasti, Registered Nurse, ICU Manager, and Frederick Health’s liaison with Infinite Legacy. "By partnering with Infinite Legacy, Frederick Health is helping to change, save, and celebrate life.”
