Workplace Partnership for Life
|
In 2001, HHS launched the Gift of Life Donation Initiative. One of the strategies in this initiative is the Workplace Partnership for Life, a collaboration where companies and employee groups of all sizes pledge to make information on donation available to employees. Over the years, several major national corporations have become registered members of the Workplace Partnership such as Bank of America, MetLife, Baxter Healthcare and Verizon. Currently, there are well over 12,000 partners enrolled.
