Orville supported the work of Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières).
Orville C. Green, M.D. (1957-1960) left Baltimore to establish a program at the Children's Memorial Hospital in the Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, Northwestern University. He maintained a flourishing Division, productive both in research and training until his retirement. He currently spends winters in Sarasota and summers in Wilmette and Nantucket. Among his trainees was Dr. Robert Winters who has succeeded Orville in the direction of the Division. When asked about Lawson Wilkins, Orville recalled two statements made by Wilkins:
1. "Never take money from a drug company – take their products for experimentation if they seem worthwhile but never take money – they will never get off your back."
2. "The clinical use of the science of endocrinology is to diagnose and treat conditions of excess and deficiency." Orville adds, "I think this basic principle should be reaffirmed."
