Family Care Program

OurLegacy offers a formal care program for the families of organ and tissue donors in our service area. Our team of compassionate, trained professionals take the time to learn about your grief experience, your loved one and the impact of he or she had on your life.

OurLegacy is pleased to provide the following ongoing services to all donor families:

Correspondence

OurLegacy coordinates correspondence between donor families and recipients whenever either party decides they would like to write a letter. Some choose to write soon after the donation or transplant; others wait years until they are ready. We are pleased to provide guidelines for writing to the recipients of your loved one’s gifts.

Support and Referrals

Regardless of participation in the family care program, donor families and other members of the community are welcome to contact our Family Care program any time they need support. Our Family Care team is always available to provide resources and referrals.
