With a long-standing commitment to saving lives through organ donation and transplantation, Avera McKennan was awarded the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medal of Honor for sustaining a 24-month organ donation rate of 80%, and was also recognized for best practices in rates of organ transplantation per donor.
