UC San Diego Health Honor Walk Pays Tribute to Fire Captain

UC San Diego Health, in partnership with Lifesharing, conducted its first Honor Walk to pay tribute to a fire captain who selflessly donated his organs. Four of Robin Cervantes' organs saved the lives of four patients.
The walks provide family members with an opportunity to accompany their loved one to the operating room before organ donation is made and to share a few final moments. Medical team members line the hallways to support the family and recognize the precious gift of donation.
Each Honor Walk is signaled by a beautiful chime composed by a nurse at UC San Diego Health and a Donate Life flag is raised in front of the hospital to let the community know that an Honor Walk has taken place.
