(Beaver Dam) Marshfield Medical Center – Beaver Dam was recognized for their efforts in organ and tissue donation. The facility was one of 19 hospitals across the state awarded the Excellence in Tissue Donation from the University of Wisconsin Organ and Tissue Donation this week.
The Excellence in Tissue Donation award is given to partner hospitals that achieve at least a 60-percent consent rate. Beaver Dam registered an 88-percent consent rate. This metric measures the collaborative work between the hospital staff and tissue bank in coordinating communication around tissue consent conversations.
