Lake Chelan Health (LCH) Hospital Board of Commissioners and Administration staff have been honored with the Tissue Donation Standards of Excellence Award from LifeNet Health. This respected award recognizes the hospital’s unwavering commitment and efforts to achieve and sustain high standards in initiating the donation process.
Over the past year, LCH has achieved a remarkable 100% timely referral rate, with 92.3% of all deaths being referred. “That’s actually very, very exceptional,” said Meigan Kemp, LCH’s Donor Relations Account Manager from LifeNet Health®. This outstanding partnership and the hospital’s accomplishments with LifeNet Health play a crucial role in saving and enhancing patients’ lives in the region.
Such high standards would not have been possible without the dedication of the LCH administration, management, and especially the nursing staff and bedside care. “The nursing staff is primarily responsible for this effort,” said Rhianna Montgomery, LCH Chief Nursing Officer.
Lake Chelan Health is honored by this recognition and looks forward to continuing its collaboration with LifeNet Health. Together, they will continue to provide a safe, reliable, and comprehensive approach to supporting the tissue donation program.
