June 17, 2024

NEENAH – Three ThedaCare hospitals were recently recognized by UW Organ and Tissue Donation (UW OTD) for their ongoing commitment to saving and improving lives through organ and tissue donation.

ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Appleton earned the Silver Award of Hope, ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah earned the Gold Award of Hope and ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano earned the Excellence in Tissue Donation recognition.

Sue Broeren, RN and organ and tissue donation coordinator at ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah said the hospitals can have a successful program because of families who make the difficult decision to donate their loved one’s organs and tissue.

“Our dedicated team members care deeply about donor patients and their families,” she said. “We are incredibly grateful for their compassion for others.”

UW Organ and Tissue Donation is a federally designated organ procurement organization serving more than 100 hospitals in Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois.
