A Note About Content

Some legacy resources on this website may refer to UNOS in place of the OPTN, reflecting common usage at the time of publication when the two were often used interchangeably. In recent years, significant work has gone into distinguishing these as separate entities: the OPTN is the nationwide organ transplant network established by federal law, while UNOS is one of several organizations currently under contract to support OPTN operations. We’ve preserved these resources as originally published, but recommend referring to current terminology for the most accurate understanding of each organization’s role.
