Special ceremony this week at Bates County Memorial Hospital



On Wednesday
, we gathered to raise the Donate Life flag in honor of April’s Donate Life Month and to remember all those who have made the selfless decision to become organ donors.

A special thank you to our guest speaker, Giving Fore Living member Lauren Miller. Lauren is the daughter of the late Darin Wainscott, whose choice to be an organ donor has touched many lives. Darin’s legacy inspired the founding of Giving Fore Living in 2013, which has since grown to honor two additional heroes, Kevin Jacobs and Kalee Chandler, whose organ donations have saved countless lives. Together, these three individuals have saved over 16 lives and improved many more through their gifts of organ and tissue donation.
Our communities are beyond blessed to have such a remarkable non-profit organization, and we are grateful for the individuals who selflessly support this cause. Be sure to follow Giving Fore Living's efforts during Blue & Green Spirit Week!
We have to note here that Lauren will soon have a connection to BCMH as well. We're excited to share that Lauren will join our Family Care Clinic team next month as a Family Nurse Practitioner!
Thanks again to Lauren and to all who took part in the flag raising event.
