The Iowa Donor Network has presented an award to Winneshiek Medical Center for having half of the patients who were eligible for tissue donation consenting to donation.

According the Iowa Donor Network, WMC staff were one of the few groups to receive this award. 

By contacting the Iowa Donor Network following a death, the Winneshiek Medical Center's nurses, physicians and other allied healthcare staff "are the link between potential donors and the recipients who are waiting for a life-changing gift," said IDN.
