CMH was honoured to be recognized by Trillium Gift of Life (TGLN) with a Hospital Achievement Award. CMH is one of 25 to receive the Hospital Achievement Award - Provincial Conversion Rate. To receive this recognition, a hospital must reach a conversion rate that meets or exceeds the target of 63 percent set by Ontario Health (TGLN). The conversion rate is the percentage of potential organ donors (patients who die in a hospital setting and are deemed medically suitable for donation) who went on to become actual donors.
This is our hospital's second award for exceeding the target conversion rate. CMH's rate was 75% for 2022-23.
The Hospital Achievement Awards reflect the ongoing commitment Ontario Health (TGLN) and its hospital partners share in implementing leading donation practices, integrating donation as part of quality end-of-life care, and supporting a culture of donation in Ontario. Many thanks to Dr. David Cape, the ICU and all the staff that contributed to ensuring the wishes of potential donors are realized, honouring their selflessness and the legacy they intend to leave behind.
