It confirms donor registration, supports families, and coordinates the recovery with the help of its in-house immunogenetics lab to match organs and UNOS for national matches. It operates 24/7 across the state, offers a two-year aftercare program for donor families, and runs as a nonprofit to maximize life-saving impact. Its goal is to save lives and support medical research by increasing donations, expanding the donor registry, and ensuring efficient transplantation while honoring donors and families.
