Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital (PPMH) has been honored with the prestigious Platinum Level Recognition for its outstanding commitment to promoting organ, eye, and tissue donation through the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) DoNation Campaign. This achievement reflects Phoebe’s commitment and dedication to saving and healing lives by championing donor registration within the hospital and the surrounding community.

Since its inception in 2011, the DoNation Campaign has inspired thousands of workplaces nationwide to support organ, eye, and tissue donation, resulting in more than 660,000 new donor registrations and countless lives saved. PPMH’s Platinum status represents the highest level of achievement in this initiative, demonstrating exceptional leadership, advocacy, and collaboration.

“Earning Platinum recognition is a testament to our team’s dedication to saving lives and supporting families during some of their most difficult moments. We are proud to champion organ, eye, and tissue donation and to work alongside LifeLink of Georgia to bring hope and healing to our community and beyond,” said Deb Angerami, PPMH President.

The Platinum recognition underscores Phoebe’s role as a leader in healthcare advocacy and community engagement. It also reflects the hospital's commitment to lead with compassion and build on past success to encourage even more individuals to register as donors. HRSA recently announced it is eliminating the DoNation Campaign as part of broader efforts to improve government efficiency.

“It is the work behind our Platinum level recognition, not the recognition itself, that is important,” Angerami said. “Even without the DoNation Campaign, we will continue to work with our partners and the community to encourage organ donation, thank families and donors who make the decision to donate, and create opportunities for more lives to be saved.”
