OSF Saint Francis Medical Center is being recognized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as one of only 300 hospitals nationwide to receive a Medal of Honor.
OSF Saint Francis will be awarded a Bronze Medal during the National Learning Congress in Texas this November. This marks the fourth consecutive year Saint Francis has received a medal from HHS and represents the continued dedication to its partnership with Gift of Hope Organ and Tissue Donor Network in providing families the opportunity to choose organ donation and to make those organs available for life saving transplants.
“This speaks very highly of OSF Saint Francis’ continued commitment to organ donation, the effectiveness of the partnership between OSF Saint Francis and Gift of Hope, and the dedicated efforts of the OSF Saint Francis Organ Donation Collaborative Committee,” said Kim Thrush, Gift of Hope in House Coordinator in announcing the award.
