​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Each year, tissue is provided by approximately 20,000 donors in the United States. The Christ Hospital’s transplant surgeons use donated tissue such as skin, bone and heart valves for people suffering from trauma, bone damage, spinal injuries, burns, hearing impairment and vision loss. One donation of tissue can save or enhance more than 50 lives.
