Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare Professionals and Hospitals play a key role in helping TGLN be an effective leader in managing Ontario’s organ and tissue donation and transplantation. There are 69 hospital corporations across the province that secure organ/tissue donation as part of end-of-life care; provide organ and tissue donation best practices; and maximize organ and tissue donations for transplantation.
Donor Families
Donor Families
Working with TGLN, Donor Families receive many different kinds of support. It begins from the time that consent is granted for up to 12 months. This can include access to information materials, donor recognition events and other support measures.
In the Community
In the Community
Individuals in the Community are critical to the promotion and public awareness efforts regarding the need to register as an organ and tissue donor. TGLN works with community volunteers and various organizations to provide the necessary information and support.
Transplantation
Transplantation
Preparations for a transplant often begin long before the surgery to replace the damaged or diseased organ. A coordinated effort by transplant surgeons, coordinators, social workers, psychologists, the patient and donor family, among many others, is vital to ensure a successful surgery.

Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) Champion Award Series (2012-2019)

For eight consecutive years, the former TGLN Board embarked on an extensive nomination and selection process to choose one or two organ and tissue donation advocates to honour with the Annual TGLN Champion Award. From 2012 – 2019, the TGLN Champion Award was presented to 11 advocates. A TGLN Champion was defined as “an Ontario resident who had made an exceptional and inspirational difference in the realm of organ and tissue donation and transplantation.” As part of the selection process, the TGLN Board took into consideration the various activities undertaken by advocates in communities across Ontario to help raise public awareness about the importance of organ and tissue donation and transplantation.

The TGLN Champion Award series was discontinued in 2020 when TGLN joined Ontario Health.
