    Today is PA Donor Day, and we’re honoring the lifesaving impact of organ and tissue donors. In partnership with Gift of Life Donor Program, we gathered at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center to recognize those who gave the ultimate gift. During a special ceremony in the Healing Garden, each donor’s name was read aloud and marked with a painted stone or garden stake — a lasting tribute to the hope they’ve given others. One donor can save up to eight lives. You can make a difference by registering as an organ donor: https://bit.ly/4lQ8V4M
