Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving Collaborates with Taylor's Gift Foundation to Support Donor Families

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving and Taylor's Gift Foundation have launched a new collaboration to provide no-cost grief support for families following the donation of a loved one's organs, eyes or tissues.

Through a two-year pilot program, donor families will have access to trained peer mentors, virtual support groups, follow-up care and community resources in both English and Spanish. Families referred through Baylor Scott & White's chaplaincy department will be contacted within 48 hours and connected with support tailored to their unique loss.

Taylor's Gift's trauma-informed Grief Support Program has demonstrated meaningful improvements in grief, anxiety and depression among participating families.

The pilot positions Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving among the first hospitals in the region to offer structured, long-term grief support specifically for donor families, helping ensure they receive compassionate care long after their hospital experience ends.
