Trusted voices in organ donation and transplantation have come together to stand firm in their longstanding commitment to a safe, ethical, compassionate, and continuous pursuit of a system that honors every donor, supports every family, and safeguards every patient who depends on a lifesaving transplant.
Every organ donation is a selfless act of generosity and hope. For the more than 100,000 people in the U.S. waiting for a lifesaving transplant, trust in the organ donation and transplant system is not just essential – it is the foundation that makes saving lives possible.
Patients, donors, and their loved ones remain at the heart of everything we do. United by a shared purpose, we are working together to strengthen the foundation that protects the donor, their gift of life, and every patient waiting.
Together, as a united community, we remain committed to:
- Honoring patients, donors, and families. We continue to amplify patient and donor family voices to ensure their experiences and perspectives guide our shared work.
- Ensuring public trust. We remain steadfast in our mission to help patients receive lifesaving transplants by providing the public with accurate and transparent information about the donation process.
- Driving innovation and efficiencies. We continue to support meaningful innovations and modernizations that enhance safety, fairness, and access, while ensuring responsible protection and stewardship of every donor and their gift.
