Franciscan Health Crown Point Donate Life Celebration 2024

According to Donate Life Indiana, more than 1,000 Hoosiers are among more than 104,000 Americans awaiting organ transplants. In the U.S., another person is added to the transplant waiting list every nine minutes. Each day, 16 people die because a donated organ wasn’t available in time.

In support of the healthcare ministry’s core value of respect for life, Franciscan Health Crown Point partners with Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network, Life Line Stem Cell and VisionFirst Indiana Lions Eye Bank to facilitate organ, eye, stem cell and tissue donation. During National Donate Life Month, Franciscan Health Crown Point encourages its staff members to register as organ and tissue donors with educational registration drives, celebrate donor recipients and honor the memories of those who continue to live on through donation.
