Tennessee Children's Hospital Pays Tribute to Young Organ Donor With Honor Walk

Staff paid their respects to a young patient who had died at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in Knoxville after the decision was made to donate the patient’s organs in order to help others in need.

Footage shared to Facebook by the hospital on April 11 shows nurses and doctors lining the corridor in an honor walk, as the donor’s remains are taken to the operating theater.

“This is a family’s hardest day; their selfless decision will give life to others. They deserve this tribute. The Honor Walk shows families they are not alone,” the hospital wrote alongside the video. Credit: East Tennessee Children’s Hospital via Storyful
