End-of-life Brain Donation Can Support Medical Breakthroughs

LifeNet Health is providing an opportunity for patients in the U.S. to contribute to groundbreaking research by donating brain tissue at the end of life. This generous act will aid researchers in developing therapies for neurodegenerative disorders that impact  millions of Americans. By donating, individuals can help others and create a lasting legacy of hope.

Patients diagnosed with any of the following neurological conditions may be eligible to donate brain tissue:

• Alzheimer’s
• Parkinson’s
• Dementia
• Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)

Every donation is vital as researchers strive to develop more effective therapies — and potentially a cure. Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and CTE affect millions of Americans, and currently, there are no cures, with limited treatment options for these neurodegenerative disorders..
 

Participation in this program is free for donors and their families. LifeNet Health collaborates with organizations nationwide to protect research donations, coordinating donation services with hospitals, hospices, medical examiners, and funeral homes.
 

This donation opportunity is open to patients in the U.S. Completing this form is an expression of interest, and not a commitment. Someone from LifeNet Health will reach out to discuss this opportunity.

By completing this form on behalf of another person you hereby certify that you are the legally authorized representative (e.g., power of attorney, court ordered guardianship, next of kin under applicable statute for substitute decision making, etc.) of the named person herein, and are authorized to provide the information.
