Children’s tug boat play area is back on Savannah’s River Street

February 4th, 2024

The beloved Savannah tug boat children’s play area is back on Savannah’s River Street, refurbished and modernized , replacing the original wooden 1977 tugboat, designed by Riverfront Urban Renewal Project architect Eric Meyerhoff. 

The original tugboat, nicknamed “Tinkerbell,” had become dilapidated over the years and had been repaired and rebuilt multiple times until it was removed several years ago for safety reasons. 

The donation of the new ADA accessible tugboat play area is from Margot Meyerhoff, daughter Eric Meyerhoff.  Stephen Nottingham, from Frendesign, modernized the design.

(SouthCoast Health Savannah) Why you should become an organ donor

February 1st, 2024

SouthCoast Health Savannah organ donation

More than 110,000 men, women, and children are on the national transplant waiting list. Even worse, every ten minutes someone new is added.

Each year, the difference between the number of people waiting for organs versus the number of people willing to donate grows wider year after year. While 95% of US adults support organ donation, only about 54% are actually signed up to be donors. That means about 20 people die each day waiting for a transplant.

SouthCoast Health professionals in Savannah can answer all of your medical questions, and, since SouthCoast has a wide range of medical professionals and departments, they can handle most discussions about organ donation, no matter what body part your questions cover.

Learn more about organ donation and why you should become an organ donor here.
