As life approaches its final chapter, have you ever paused to consider how you would like to be cared for? What kind of love and legacy would you like to leave behind?
At this year's Organ Donation Awareness Day, Shuang Ho Hospital's mascot, HoBao, joined the public on a meaningful journey of life education. Through interactive activities and educational exhibits, participants explored important choices that may arise throughout life's journey, making conversations about life and end-of-life care more approachable and meaningful.
The event introduced three important topics: organ donation, palliative care, and Advance Decisions (Advance Directives). Visitors also enjoyed storybooks on life education and hands-on experiences with 3D organ models, helping both children and adults better understand the value of life in an engaging and interactive way.
Giving the Gift of Life — Organ Donation
Organ donation gives hope to patients awaiting transplantation and allows life to continue through the gift of donation. Every decision to donate has the power to save lives and bring hope to families.
Living with Dignity — Palliative Care
When a disease can no longer be cured, palliative care focuses on relieving suffering, improving quality of life, and supporting patients and families with comfort and dignity.
Making Your Own Decisions — Advance Decisions
Advance Decisions encourage people to discuss their healthcare wishes early. This helps ensure their choices are respected and eases the burden on loved ones during difficult medical decisions.
