GIFT OF HOPE ORGAN & TISSUE DONOR NETWORK
is proud to serve as the federally designated not-for-profit agency that coordinates organ and tissue donation and supports families of donors in the northern three-quarters of Illinois and northwest Indiana.
OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE
To save and enhance the lives of as many people as possible through organ and tissue donation. Join the registry and become a donor.
The inaugural Chicago Organ Summit was developed in response to the June 2016 White House Organ Summit and former President Barack Obama’s call to action for the nation to increase organ transplantation. The Chicago Organ Summit featured city and state dignitaries, leaders from Chicago’s transplant centers, hospital systems and Gift of Hope who shared how we will transform Chicago into the transplant hub of the country together.
