(Pittsburgh, PA) According to a release yesterday from Allegheny Health Network, Allegheny Health Network is once again receiving statewide recognition for its efforts to support and raise awareness about organ, eye and tissue donation as the top-performing health system in western Pennsylvania for HAP’s 2025 Donate Life Pennsylvania Hospital Challenge. AHN Allegheny General Hospital and AHN Wexford Hospital also earned second and third place awards respectively and got named as hospitals in the region that are top-performing as part of the challenge. HAP recognizes efforts of providers of health care who lead campaigns that are effective to increase awareness for donations of organs within their communities and hospitals through their yearly challenge. In 2025, 121 hospitals across the state of Pennsylvania participated in HAP’s Donate Life Pennsylvania Hospital Challenge. The Donate Life Month activities of participating hospitals of this challenge got captured on a scoreboard and were assigned recognitions of bronze, silver, gold, platinum and titanium based on their ultimate success, scope and scale at making the number of registered organ donors bigger. Platinum or titanium designations went to ten Allegheny Health Network hospitals, including Allegheny General Hospital, Allegheny Valley Hospital, Canonsburg Hospital, Forbes Hospital, Grove City Hospital, Jefferson Hospital, McCandless Neighborhood Hospital, West Penn Hospital and Wexford Hospital in the Pittsburgh region; and Saint Vincent Hospital in Erie, Pennsylvania. HAP supported the challenge by partnering with the Pennsylvania Department of Health and both the Center for Organ Recovery & Education and Gift of Life Donor Program. The Center for Organ Recovery & Education and Gift of Life Donor Program are the two organ procurement organizations that serve Pennsylvania.
