Gift of Life Donor Program

Roxborough Memorial Hospital is proud to announce its participation in the 2025 Donor Challenge. If you are interested in becoming an organ donor, please visit www.donors1.org for more information.

The 2025 HAP Donate Life Pennsylvania Hospital Challenge will take place from April 1 to April 30, aligning with National Donate Life Month. In the United States, over 100,000 individuals are currently waiting for organ transplants, and unfortunately, many will not receive the help they need. The decision to become an organ donor is a deeply personal one, yet it has the potential to profoundly impact the lives of others. Due to the many misconceptions surrounding organ donation, it is essential to educate oneself on the facts before making this important choice.

Roxborough Memorial Hospital is excited to join the Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) in this vital initiative. HAP has collaborated with the Pennsylvania Department of Health and two organ procurement organizations—the Center for Organ Recovery & Education and the Gift of Life Donor Program—to promote organ donation awareness. This challenge runs from April 1 to April 30, 2025, and encourages hospitals across Pennsylvania to enhance awareness and registrations in their communities.

We at Roxborough Memorial Hospital are honored to contribute to this meaningful cause, having been recognized with the platinum award for our efforts in previous years. We aspire to exceed our accomplishments in 2025.
