Team members from the UVA Health Charles O. Strickler Transplant Center and LifeNet Health recently came together to install the 6th Annual Pinwheel Garden in front of the West Complex for Donate Life Month.

"We hope our garden serves as a serene place of remembrance and gratitude — honoring those who have generously given the gift of life through organ, eye, and tissue donation, including living donors, and celebrating the lives that have been profoundly touched by their selfless acts," says Amy Schmidt-Morris, Senior Advisor, Special Projects.

"We also hope you take a moment to appreciate the countless nurses, social workers, physicians, financial coordinators, access associates, surgeons, pharmacists, and nutrition, speech, and occupational and physical therapists who make transplantation possible." 

Register to be an organ, eye, and tissue donor with Donate Life Virginia. The garden will be on display through April 30.
