Southern Trust honours those who gave the gift of life

The Ardboe-based artist created the artwork entitled ‘From me to you’ which consists of one large portrait and one large landscape detailed with flowers, symbolising the gratitude, compassion and love expressed by families whose loved ones have been cared for at the end of life. The artwork is on display on the Broadway corridor for visitors to the hospital to view.
Ronan Carroll, Assistant Director Surgery and Elective Care and ATICS said: “Transplants are one of the most miraculous achievements of modern medicine but they depend entirely on the generosity of donors and their families who are willing to make this life-saving or life-enhancing gift to others. One donor can save the life of up to nine people who are awaiting a transplant.

Mr Carroll said the artwork would also serve as a permanent reminder to the hospital staff of the lasting impact that their care has on others.
