OneWorld Community Health Center
Healthy Living & Giving is a partner event that invites all staff members to gather in a health-focused dialogue. As community members and influencers, we invite you to engage with a panel of experts to address the pressing issue of health disparities in our communities and the impact it plays on organ failure, the transplant waiting list and the donation process. Most importantly, you’ll discover how organ and tissue donation has the incredible potential to save those suffering to receive a revived chance in life.
