Staff at Surrey Memorial Hospital were treated to a Christmas snack on Friday (Dec. 5) as part of an annual initiative to thank health-care workers for their life-saving work. Operation Popcorn is an annual program run by BC Transplant and is a chance for organ recipients to thank the staff in intensive care units, emergency departments and operating rooms throughout B.C., said Bobbi Paquette, in-hospital BC Transplant co-ordinator for Fraser Health. “Transplants happen at Vancouver General Hospital, St Paul’s and B.C. Children’s Hospital, and so often, most of the province doesn’t see the other side of donation. They only see the sad part where we’re working up donors who go on to save lives. So this is a way for us to let those departments see the other side of Oregon donation, where these gifts go and the lives they save,” Paquette said.
