April is #BeaDonorMonth, which brings attention to the need for organ donations. But, behind the scenes are our committed and dedicated health-care teams having the difficult conversations that make organ transplantation possible.

Leticia Cortez-Fasser (photo 1) is an operating room nurse who plays a important role in assisting with organ retrieval and maintaining viability for transplantation. She took on a leadership role in putting together an information package about organ donation for families at our McMaster University Medical Centre.

Zach Zacharewicz (photo 2) is a nurse working in our intensive care units and often work closely with patients who have suffered severe brain injuries or trauma. Sometimes this can unfortunately lead to devastating outcomes despite the team's best efforts. In these cases, he supports families considering organ donation as a way to honor their loved one’s legacy and potentially save the lives of others in need of organ transplants.

Michelle Bisaillon (photo 3) is a social worker supporting patients and families in the intensive care unit. She helps patients navigate the health-care system, advocates on their behalf and provide emotional support to their loved ones. Often she's supporting end-of-life-care, which includes conversations about organ donation. So, she works closely with the organ donation team to ensure everyone is aligned with the patient’s wishes.
