Established to promote and enhance quality of life, The Transplant Resource Center at Methodist University Hospital supports the educational, emotional, spiritual and financial needs of our transplant recipients, organ donors and their families.

We are able to accomplish our mission through four main goals:

1. Provide an open forum for transplant recipients, organ donors and family members to obtain up-to-date information about organ transplantation and organ donation.
2. Promote organ donation and transplantation throughout the community in an effort to help increase awareness.
3. Enhance quality of life by providing limited financial resources for transplant recipients and organ donors as well as their family members.
4. Provide a supportive environment for transplant recipients, organ donors and family members.

Gifts provide support for research, training and purchase of new equipment. Permanent gifts, or endowments, can provide ongoing support for a specific area of the Institute. Gifts can be made in the form of cash or appreciated securities.

Contributions to the Transplant Resource Center Patient Emergency Grant Program provide financial assistance to organ transplant recipients, organ donors and their families. Assistance is provided to cover expenses related to medication co-payments, phone and utility bills, transportation expenses, and Nora's Home or hotel arrangements.
