The Forum: Wednesday June 3, 2026

From the Wednesday morning June 3, 2026 meeting of The Forum inside Cascade Hall on the campus of Colorado Mesa University Montrose. The Gift of Life: Understanding Organ Donation Organ donation is one of the most profound and selfless gifts a person can give. Through the donation of organs and tissues, one individual has the ability to save multiple lives and improve the quality of life for others. This presentation is designed to provide a clear and compassionate overview of organ donation: what it is, how it works, and why it matters. The discussion will also include the myths and concerns, including questions surrounding age, religion, medical care, and donor registration process. Equally important, this presentation will include the human side of donation through stories of family members who have forever been changed by this precious gift of life. Oregon donation is not simply a medical procedure, but a powerful act of compassion, community, and love. The Forum meets each Wednesday morning at 8 a.m. in Cascade Hall on the Colorado Mesa University’s Montrose campus.
