Tuesday, April 04, 2023, at 2:00pm

Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) are exploring the best approach to developing a Donor Care Unit (DCU) within their service areas to improve organ viability, increase the number of organs recovered per donor, and provide better care of the donor and the donor’s family. Over the course of this discussion, we will welcome three OPOs who will share their experiences as it relates to the implementation of their DCUs and their improved outcomes.
