Brightly Colored Pinwheel Garden Celebrates Donate Life Month
To help celebrate Donate Life Month in April and highlight the impact of organ donation and transplantation, the UVA Health Transplant Center team has installed hundreds of colorful pinwheels outside UVA Health’s West Complex.
Virginia’s only comprehensive transplant center, the UVA Health Transplant Center has performed more than 7,500 organ transplants.
Transplants are performed at the Charles O. Strickler Transplant Center in Charlottesville, and patients receive pre- and post-transplant care through Virginia’s largest Transplant Outreach Network with outpatient clinics in these localities:
- Charlottesville
- Arlington
- Lynchburg
- Martinsville
- Newport News
- Norfolk
- Richmond
- Roanoke
- Wytheville
With more than 103,000 Americans on a transplant waiting list, UVA Health encourages Virginians to give the gift of life and consider becoming a living kidney or living liver donor. More information is available on UVA Health’s living organ donation page.
The pinwheel garden will be on display through May 1.
