Supporting the Mission of Gift of Life Michigan

Helping Hands Team BuildingHealing Lives

In the past year, Gift of Life Michigan has moved forward with major initiatives that should further our mission of saving and improving more lives through transplantation. Much behind-the-scenes work has put us on the verge of launching some truly exciting projects. Highlights include:• GiftofLifeispoisedtobecomethefirstorganprocurementorganizationinthenationtouse“ExVivo”

lung reconditioning. The device will allow recovered lungs to be medically sustained outside of the donor’s body while being readied for transplant. The reconditioning can turn marginal lungs into good lungs and improve the outcomes for the patients who desperately need these gifts.

• ThePeaceofMindRegistry,anonlineadvanceddirectivedepositorywherepeoplecanstoretheirend-of-life decisions. Gift of Life – with the generous assistance of a Gift of Life Foundation grant – has paid for and developed the technology to operate the registry under contract with the Michigan Department of Community Health.

In addition, we and other donation andtransplantationsupportersrecentlyconcludedthefirstfullyearofthenewDonateLifelicenseplateinMichigan. We set a goal of 2,000 plates sold by the end of August, and we hit it! If you don’t have a plate yet, please purchase one at Michigan.gov/SOS.

In the end, of course, our mission is all about the power to heal lives. In 2012, 261 organ donors saved the lives of nearly 800 people, while 860 tissue donors led to countless thousands of improved lives. We are on pace to meet or exceed those numbers this year. We are forever grateful to all of those donors and totheirfamilies.Werecognizeeachoneofthemasahero.

AsIconcludemyfirstfullyearasexecutivedirectoroftheGiftofLifeFoundation,allIcansayis,“Whew!Whatayearithasbeen.”Itisanhonortobepartofsuchagreatorganizationandtoseethe creativity, the inspiration and, especially, the humanity that goes into the many programs the Foundation touches.

In this report, you’ll get a glimpse of the breadth of the Gift of Life Foundation’s work. But first, I’d like to thank ourBoard of Trustees for devoting its time and energy to ensure the Foundation provides good stewardship of its resources and provides the direction that is truly needed. This spring, the board adopted a new mission (The Foundation is dedicated to promoting and supporting Michigan’s donation and transplant community) and a set of guiding principles that can be found on the following page. While not dramatically different from the past, the mission and principles provide a clearer blueprint for the Foundation’s decisions.

Some things, of course, remain constant. The Gift of Life Foundation continues to provide direct support to patients who have received a transplant and to the transplant workers who care for those patients. Likewise, the Foundation continues to champion educational opportunities, including lending support to the Gift of Life Keystone Symposium, which brought health care staff from across the state – and indeed, the nation – to Novi this past May.

This report also will highlight our public education efforts, everything from funding for Team Michigan in the TransplantGamesofAmericatotheWolverinesforLifetoanewventure,“TheSoundsofSavingLives”gospelconcert this fall in Detroit. By helping to fund these projects, we know we are helping create a society where donation will one day be the cultural norm.

Peace of Mind Registry - $95,000 Team Michigan - $13,000

The bill creating the advance directive registry was signed into law in June2012,anda$95,000FoundationgranthashelpedGiftofLifeMichigan set up the program during the past year. The Registry will launch soon at mipeaceofmind.org.

Gift of Life is under contract with the Michigan Department of Community Health to create and maintain the Peace of Mind Registry. It will operate the Registry at no expense to the state or taxpayers.

The Registry allows citizens to upload their advance directives intoa secure website, which they or their healthcare providers could access as needed. Advance directives are legal documents allowing individuals to specify patient advocates, religious preferences and other decisions about end-of-life care ahead of time.

“GiftofLifeisanaturalfittoserveastherepositoryofthisRegistry,”saidRichardPietroski,theorganization’sCEO.“Wealreadyoperatea24/7 communications center and have a dedicated line accessible to hospitals. Just as we are charged with the sacred trust of maintaining citizens’ ‘advance directive’ to be heroes to others through theMichigan Organ Donor Registry, we will provide the same for the PeaceofMindRegistry.”

Pietroskiadded:“WearegratefultotheGiftofLifeFoundationforitssupportinmakingthisserviceavailabletoMichiganresidents.”

Governor Rick Snyder is joined by state Sen. Jim Marleau, Gift of Life’s Richard Pietroski and other healthcare advocates as he signs the bill creating the new Peace of Mind Registry.

Wolverine for Life- $15,000 Gift of Life Symposium - $5,000

Medical Examiner Investigator Accelerated Death Reporting- $6,500

The group followed its successful Be a Hero at the Big House event in November 2012 with bone marrow screening and organ donor drives on the U-M medical campus. The efforts, which were supported by a Gift of Life Foundation grant, yielded 55 potential bone marrow donors, 17 new organ/tissue donors, and 36 blood donor appointments.

The Wolverines for Life student chapter at the Medical School held their own bone marrow drive and signed up 75 percent of their student body!

In June, Wolverines for Life won the Donate Life America Pinnacle AwardintheAffinityPartnershipscategory.Thegroupisnowplanningits 3rd annual Be a Hero at the Big House drive on two levels of the Jack Roth Stadium Club. The blood unit goal for this event will be the highest ever set for a campus drive.

Wolverines for Life – a coalition of donation

proponents led by the University of Michigan

Transplant Center – continues to raise the bar for its programs.

per year for four years

A Foundation grant helped make “TheEvolvingWorldofDonation&

Transplantation”ahugesuccess this year.

A Foundation grant should help ensure that the reporting is as fast as possible. The grant will pay for IPads with 3G connectivity for the investigators, so they will be able to enter information into MDILog (a Web-based database) in real time at the scene.

The program will be initiated in Kalamazoo,Muskegon and Allegan counties. The reporting rates will then be compared with past rates in comparable sized counties to see how the program can bereplicated or improved elsewhere.

When medical examiners promptly report deaths occurring outside of hospitals to Gift of Life Michigan,

tissue recovery rates increase significantly.

The Gift of Life Symposium, done in collaboration with the Michigan Health & Hospital Association, brought together nearly 450 physicians, nurses and healthcare professionals from across the state for the one-day event in Novi.

Participants heard about latest trends and cutting-edge advances in donation and transplantation, along with inspiring stories of how and why their work is so important to so many people in Michigan.

Williams Memorial Grant Fund & Transplant Social Worker’s Patience Assistance Grants

“The financial grant for medical expenses has enabledme to buy a MediGap insurance policy, which has been a life saver. It truly has made a difference in reducing stress over medical bills and enables me to adequately plan forupcoming doctor visits and procedures and travel expenses.”

– anita sutkovs, liver recipient

“IwashumbledandappreciativetonoendwhenIreceivednewsofmyfirstgrant.Iactuallycametotearssittingaloneinmykitchenreadingthenews(aboutthefinancialhelp).WhenIgetthatletterfromG.O.L.F.,a feeling of thankfulness and relief overwhelms me every time. Words can’t express what all recipients of this wonderful gift must feel.”

– Dennis Ganske, double-lung recipient

“As the lung transplant social worker at the University ofMichigan, I have seen financial resources and assistance foradult transplant patients dwindle while the needs have grown. Being able to easily access the Gift of Life Foundation Williams Grants for my patients has been without a doubt priceless.”

– Lisbeth Harcourt, university of Michigan Lung transplant program

Sounds of Saving Lives Gospel Concert - $5,000

This year, the Gift of Life Foundation has thrown its support behind the Sounds of Saving Lives Concert, an annual gospel concert organized by theGift ofLife Minority Organ Tissue Transplantation Education Program (MOTTEP).

The Detroit concert celebrates National Donor Sabbath Weekend by adding music to the message of saving lives through organ, tissue and eye donation. The Foundation grant enabled Gift of Life MOTTEP to bring in the Detroit chapter of the Gospel Music Workshop of America.

The concert also honors those who have promoted donation in their faith community.

Since its first “Bringing Organ Donation Awareness to our FaithCommunities” seminar in 2005, the Donate Life Coalition ofMichigan has had 400 participants with a potential outreach of well over 130,000 people.

As with previous sessions, this year’s seminar, at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, provided attendees with a view of palliative care/end-of-life issues, a spiritual perspective of organ and tissue donation, personal recipient and donor family stories, an explanation of the donation process and a discussion on religious views on organ donation.

The participants leave with materials they can use immediately to bring donor awareness to their faith communities. In addition, continuing education units are awarded to nurses, social workers and chaplains.

The Coalition’s CathyWarren added: “We areso grateful to the Gift of Life Foundation for this grant that has allowed us to bring the message of organ, tissue and eye donation to those who can, inturn,bringittothousands.”

Every year, the Gift of Life Foundation provides

direct assistance to transplant recipients

through the Williams Memorial Grant Fund,

along with money to social workers to use for their patients. Here are

excerpts of what some of the recipients had to say:

A little TLC: The Foundation also offers support to other programs that work directly with patients, such as the Transplant Living Community program of the

Henry Ford Transplant Institute.
