About this Event
Lifebanc Donor Resource Nurse Course
Date: 9/15/2026
Location: Lifebanc
Description: At Lifebanc, we deeply value the relationships we share with our donor hospital partners. We recognize the vital role nursing staff play—not only in providing exceptional patient care but also in ensuring that organ donation is thoughtfully integrated into end-of-life conversations with families.
To support and empower our nurse partners, the Lifebanc Hospital Services Department has developed a one-day educational course. This program is designed to give nurses a more in-depth understanding of the donation process—from the initial referral to organ recovery—and a transparent view into our one-of-a-kind aftercare programs for donor families.
We look forward to continuing to strengthen our partnership with the dedicated nurses who work tirelessly to support donors and their families throughout this meaningful journey.
6 CE Credit Hours will be provided with the support of MetroHealth Medical Center
“The MetroHealth System is approved as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the Maryland Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation”
