A Real Lifesaver
John M. Porter, MD, FACS, Director of the Cooper Center for Trauma Services, has been providing surgical care for patients in critical condition for nearly 30 years, including many unfortunate victims of car crashes, gun shots and other unthinkable emergencies. He is loved and respected by his peers and in his community for his great expertise and unique ability to help others during the most difficult times when it is needed most.
Join Us in Celebrating...
February 14 is all about sharing some love in New Jersey - and not just because it’s Valentine’s Day!

NJ Sharing Network and its many healthcare partners and volunteers throughout the state are working together to register as many organ and tissue donors as possible in celebration of National Organ Donor Day. 

Help share the love by sharing your decision to donate with family and friends and registering at www.RegisterMe.org.
Dr. Randall Giles was a trauma surgeon who spent his days saving lives. After his passing, he continued to save lives as an organ donor. His family and friends share his story to inspire others to register as organ and tissue donors.

Nearly 30% of people on the U.S. transplant waiting list are Black. During #BlackHistoryMonth, learn more about the selfless act of organ and tissue donation and register as a donor
today at www.RegisterMe.org.
NJ Sharing Network’s Landscape of Life Meditation Garden is a special place for those whose lives have been touched by organ and tissue donation and transplantation.
