The University of Chicago Medicine announced a contribution to the Illinois Transplant Fund, which provides financial support for organ transplants to uninsured residents regardless on their immigration status. 

The initial $100,000 donation will be followed by additional contributions of up to $400,000 total over the next three years.

“We are very excited to make this program a reality. This will allow us to transplant these patients safely and provide the care and medications they need long-term,” said Yolanda Becker, professor of surgery and director of the kidney and pancreas transplant program at the University of Chicago Medicine. “This isn’t just about the University of Chicago — I encourage all of our partners throughout the state to lend their support to this deserving population.”
