GIFT OF HOPE ORGAN & TISSUE DONOR NETWORK

Description

Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network is proud to serve as the not-for-profit organ procurement organization (OPO) that coordinates organ and tissue donation and services to families of donors in the northern three-quarters of Illinois and northwest Indiana.

Since our inception in 1986, we have coordinated donations that have saved the lives of more than 26,000 organ transplant recipients and improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of tissue transplant recipients. As one of 56 organ procurement organizations that make up the nation’s organ donation system, we work with more than 180 hospitals in our donation service area.

The decision to become an organ and tissue donor offers a precious gift to others: the hope for a new life. That’s why we work hard to advance our mission: to ensure the gift of donation makes hope possible for the thousands of people waiting for lifesaving organ and life-enhancing tissue transplants.
