An honor walk, also known as a hero walk, is a ceremonial event that takes place to commemorate a patient whose organs are donated. The event typically takes place as the patient is transported to an operating room or waiting ambulance prior to organ procurement. During the walk, the hallways are lined with hospital staff, the patients friends, and family to show appreciation and respect for the patients decision to donate their organs. Honor walks may also include an honor guard in the case of a veteran. The event is intended to honor, commemorate, and celebrate the donors selfless act of saving and healing lives. Many hospitals across the country have begun to hold Honor Walks when they are requested or approved by a donor’s family. The Honor Walk is a symbol of unity and compassion among families, donors, and their care teams. It serves as a powerful way to say goodbye and give the donor the hero’s sendoff they deserve.
