What is the honor walk?

An honor walk is a procession that typically takes place in a hospital setting to pay tribute to a patient who has chosen to donate their organs for transplant. During an honor walk, hospital staff, friends, family, and community members line the hallways of the hospital as the patient is wheeled to the operating room for organ recovery. This gesture is meant to show respect and appreciation for the generosity of the donor and their family in their final act of compassion. It is a somber and emotional event that honors the life and legacy of the donor while also raising awareness about the importance of organ donation. Honor walks can also serve as a way to support and comfort the family and loved ones of the donor during a difficult time.
