CRESTVIEW — North Okaloosa Medical Center's staffers are celebrating National Donate Life Month.
The annual observance — which Donate Life America and partnering organizations established in 2003 — encourages people to register as eye, organ and tissue donors.
Last year at NOMC, 10 donors' contributions restored sight for up to 12 people, and various bone, tendon and skin grafts helped 400 or more people, according to the hospital's spokesperson.
Lesley Lang, of Life Net Health of Florida, recognized NOMC's "outstanding commitment to tissue donation," during an April 14 Donate Life Month flag-raising ceremony.
