Our Impact
Donor Family Services: Organ and tissue donors and their families deserve to be supported in every way possible and recognized for their selfless acts. LifeNet Health’s Donor Family Services department is recognized internationally as a leader in providing advocacy for donor families to help them recover from their loss. Our much-emulated bereavement programs serve more than 1,500 families every year. This could not be possible without the generosity of our LifeNet Health Foundation partners.

Community Education/Outreach: While signing up to be an organ/tissue donor is a simple task, it’s not one that naturally rises to the top of most people’s priority list. And yet the health and welfare of so many people who are in need of organs and tissues to live and thrive. An important part of LifeNet Health Foundation’s mission is to expand awareness of this issue and promote donor registration and education. LifeNet Health educated thousands of students a year about the importance of "checking the box" and meaningful STEM education.
