Professional partners

Clinical services

More than 100 partner hospitals help facilitate the gifts of life by evaluating and coordinating the medical management of patients who are referred as organ donors. Using the national waitlist system, they allocate and offer organs to transplant centers. Our team provides education and support to donor family members during the donation process. They schedule and arrange for the recovery of organs and tissues.

Hospital development

Administrators, physicians, nurses and respiratory therapy, pharmacy, operating room and pastoral care team members are all important partners throughout the donation experience. The UW OTD team provides education in donation best practices, advises on quality improvement initiatives, develops policies, facilitates training and more.
