In-Class Presentations: Trained guest speakers visit your classroom at no cost. Speakers include:
- Organ, eye and tissue recipients
- Living donors
- Donor family members
- Health care professionals
During these presentations, speakers cover the basics of transplantation and the impact of donation on the lives of people in the local community.
Discover OHSU!: As part of a field trip experience, students hear from two Donate Life Northwest speakers. For the first half of this compelling one-hour presentation, professionals from the medical community share their expertise on the subject along with a PowerPoint presentation. Immediately following, students hear from an individual whose life has been touched by organ, eye, and tissue donation. This program takes place Tuesday and Thursday, 10:45 - 11:45, October-May on the main OHSU campus. Click here to learn more. To schedule a visit, contact Adrienne Ochs (ochsa@ohsu.edu, 503-494-5267).
Blood Drives: Through partnerships with American Red Cross and Lane Memorial Blood Bank, Donate Life Northwest reaches out to thousands of students each year through blood drives. Our volunteers lend a hand while sharing their donation story and give students an opportunity to register. Contact us to request a volunteer at your school's blood drive.
