2022 September #BeTheGift Connections: “Check Yes. Get the Heart”
Listen now
Description
In September's #BeTheGift Connections,  we celebrate our partners at the Tennessee Department of Safety (TDOS).  September is National DMV Appreciation Month. We talk about the successful partnership between Tennessee Donor Services and the TDOS Driver Services Centers. Plus we have personal stories from Driver Service Center staff who share their connections to transplant recipients. It’s an opportunity to recognize and thank our Driver License partners for their commitment to asking customers if they would like to register to #BeTheGift as an organ and tissue donor.  They are the people on the front lines and play a vital role in saving and healing lives. Through their efforts over the past years, millions of Tennesseans have made the decision to join the Tennessee Donor Registry.
