HAP Donate Life Pennsylvania Hospital Challenge

The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) has partnered with the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and the two organ procurement organizations serving Pennsylvania—the Center for Organ Recovery & Education and Gift of Life Donor Program—for the HAP Donate Life Pennsylvania Hospital Challenge.

HAP Donate Life Pennsylvania Hospital Challenge

The HAP Donate Life Pennsylvania Hospital Challenge encourages Pennsylvania hospitals to increase organ donation awareness and designations within their hospital and community. HAP members are encouraged to participate in the annual event. 

Hospitals are acknowledged for their efforts through awareness and designation activities that are captured on a scorecard to achieve titanium, platinum, gold, silver, and bronze level point totals. Each year, winning designations are announced based on points collected from the various activities. 2024 Award Designations

HAP provides support with:

  • Coaching webinars that include valuable speakers and informative presentations
  • Scorecards and other points tracking documentation
  • Special bonus point event opportunities, such as participation in National Donor Day (February 14) and Pennsylvania Donor Day (August 1)
