Mission Statement: (See Web Site For Updated Information)
Our vision is to be trusted leaders in the field of organ and tissue donation and transplantation. We also envision universal acceptance of organ and tissue donation as a fundamental societal value. With this universal acceptance, all organs and tissues suitable for donation will be transplanted, and the urgent demand for organs and tissues will be met. The New York Organ Donor Network is dedicated to the recovery of organs and tissues for people in need of life-saving and life-improving transplants.
Additionally, we are committed to increasing awareness and fostering an understanding of organ and tissue donation among health care professionals and the general public. With respect and compassion, we will provide individuals and their families with the knowledge required to make informed decisions about donation.
Our values include understanding, sensitivity and respect for all individuals with whom we come into contact with in the pursuit of our mission, honesty, integrity, and trustworthiness, empathy and compassion, ethical conduct, fiscal responsibility and professional excellence.
