Flag coming to IVCH honors organ and tissue donors

Flags are raised and lowered every day, but a special flag at Illinois Valley Community Hospital will honor those who were given life thanks to others.

IVCH is celebrating April’s designation as National Donate Life Month by having a Donate Life flag raising ceremony next Thursday. Senior executives from the hospital will be there as will representatives from the organ and tissue donor network to answer any questions you might have about organ donation.

The ceremony will be in front of the IVCH West Entrance at 10am. The flag, honoring organ, eye, and tissue donors, will fly below the American flag in front of the hospital.
