Jersey Shore University Medical Center - Zan’s Garden of Life Dedication Ceremony
Channel: Hackensack Meridian Health
Date: 2017-07-19

NJ Sharing Network and Jersey Shore University Medical Center brought hundreds of family members together to honor 38 organ and tissue donors during an emotional ceremony on July 13, 2017. More than 300 family members and care givers were in attendance to recognize the impact these donors had on saving hundreds of lives through organ and tissue donations. These individuals gave the most precious gift… the gift of life. 

The names of the donors were read aloud, and engraved in bricks that are now part of Zan’s Garden of Life. The garden was inspired by a physician at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, John Tozzi, M.D., whose young daughter was killed in a car accident in 2004. Alexandra, or Zan to family and friends, became an organ donor. Her death inspired Dr. Tozzi to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation and create a beautiful memorial garden in memory of Zan and others who gave the ultimate gift.
