GIRF is the Gastro-Intestinal Research Foundation of Chicago. GIRF is a group of people from all walks of life; many are patients, all are friends, united in a common effort to support research on the causes and cures of digestive diseases.
GIRF provides funds for equipment, laboratories and the support of investigators and young physicians in the University of Chicago Gastroenterology Section, a group of full-time dedicated doctors who seek solutions to all kinds of gastrointestinal illnesses, affecting the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, the large intestine, the liver, the gallbladder, and the pancreas.
GIRF is an organization without politics and without bias. Everyone with a similar interest and capacity to contribute is welcome to join.
Above all...
GlRF is a unique blend of wonderful, kind and generous men and women giving of themselves and their resources, whose greatest reward is that inner sense of satisfaction, that unique feeling of goodness that comes from helping the gastroenterologists in the clinic and in the laboratory at the University of Chicago Medical Center and, through them, helping sick people everywhere.
Ask to be put on our mailing list. Join in a vital partnership with the physicians and scientists who work to find cures for digestive disease.GIRF was founded in 1967 by Martin Sandier and Joseph E. Valenti, Sr. Their mission was to help their friend, Joseph B. Kirsner, M.D., raise funds for research in digestive diseases.
"It shall be the mission of the Gastro-Intestinal Research Foundation to raise funds for gastroenterologic research. The Foundation will endeavor to promote the education of the public regarding issues of digestive health."
