About Us
Cleveland Minority Organ and Tissue Transplant Education Program (MOTTEP) is a community based and culturally sensitive organization that promotes education and awareness in the Greater Cleveland minority population about organ and tissue donation, transplantation, and issues that are related to disease prevention and wellness. MOTTEP of Cleveland uses a community-based approach, with ethnically similar messengers to dispel the myths and misconceptions that prevent minority populations from participating in this life-giving and lifesaving procedure. Cleveland MOTTEP is affiliated with the Centers for Dialysis Care and is a 501 (C) (3) organization message that emphasizes wellness, health and disease prevention.
Cleveland MOTTEP (Minority Organ Tissue Transplant Education Program) was established in 1995 as a local affiliate of National MOTTEP, founded in 1991 by Dr. Clive Callender, a Howard University transplant surgeon.
At Cleveland MOTTEP, we believe that education is the cornerstone of health and wellness.
