DMC Awarded For Organ Donor Sign-ups

The Detroit Medical Center (DMC) has received the Gift of Life’s coveted Platinum Award in honor of DMC’s superior participation in the 2017 Gift of Life Michigan Hospital Challenge. DMC is one of two hospitals in the state to receive the coveted Platinum Award.

The Platinum Award is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration (HRSA) Workplace Partnerships for Life program and is directly related to the work that the DMC conducted for the 2017 Hospital Challenge.

Concluding the Challenge, DMC won first place for registering the most organ and tissue donors (763) during a six-week period.

“We’re honored to be a recipient of this Platinum Award. It is a true testament to the partnership and collaboration we have with the Gift of Life,” Scott Steiner, FACHE, CEO of DMC Detroit Receiving, DMC Harper University and DMC Hutzel Women’s Hospital. “None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of our teams ensuring we are able to meet our community’s need for life saving organs.”

Gift of Life Michigan kicked off the 2018 Hospital Challenge at the Award ceremony.
