The Life Saving Tree at University Hospital in San Antonio, is an inspirational artwork created by artist Robert Dix.

 

Each leaf on this remarkable tree signifies the names of organ donors, reflecting their invaluable contributions to saving lives. The leaf is hand engraved with the donor's name and year of donation. 

 

As the tree expands with additional branches, it serves as a poignant representation of the countless lives transformed through the generosity of these donors.

 

A commemorative ceremony is held every year to honor to thank these remarkable individuals for their profound impact on our community.
