What We Do

Our Life-Saving Mission

Our team members, volunteers and healthcare and community partners share a passion and commitment to saving and enhancing lives. We operate 24/7/365 to recover and place donated organs and tissue, support donor families, honor the legacy of those who gave the gift of life and raise awareness about the power of organ donation and transplantation.

We build a community of donation and transplantation

Compassionate Support

We are here for donor families

We honor and support every family who makes the courageous decision to donate at the time of their loved one's passing. In their time of sorrow, these families gave the gift of life to others in need. While we cannot take away the pain of their loss, we strive to provide services that will promote healing during the difficult journey that lies ahead.

Our dedicated team, volunteers and partners work together to raise awareness of organ and tissue donation to encourage community members to register as organ and tissue donors and save more lives.

By working with our hospital partners, we realize our mutual goal of saving and enhancing lives through the identification, referral and care of potential organ and tissue donors.
