VISION: A transplant for every patient in need.

MISSION: To honor individuals’ donor designations, to ensure families’ opportunities to donate and to maximize the Gift of Life through organ and tissue donation.

VALUES: It is our privilege and honor to serve the donation and transplantation community by helping those in need of life-saving and life-enhancing transplants. It is the patients in need who motivate us and the selfless donors who humble us.

We work with more 70 hospital partners throughout this region to provide training and education to critical care healthcare professionals involved in the identification and referral of potential donors. We provide education to students and various community and faith-based organizations and encourage them to make positive decisions about donation, and we work closely with the Florida tax collectors and their staff who facilitate thousands of donor registrations each year.

LifeQuest also provides aftercare services to the families of our donors who have given the ultimate gift – The Gift of Life.
