Mission
TO SAVE AND HEAL LIVES THROUGH ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION.
About
Organ Donation Services The Organ Donation Services program at NEOB is designed to effectively coordinate and maximize the donation of organs for transplant in the NEOBs designated service area. In order to fulfill this core mission as an Organ Procurement Organization, coordinators are available 24 hours a day to respond onsite at hospitals within NEOBs service area when a potential organ donor has been identified. This includes evaluating every potential organ donor's medical condition, maintaining clinical support throughout the organ recovery process, and managing the complex logistics of the surgical recovery, preservation, packaging, transportation and appropriate allocation of donated organs to recipients. As part of this service, coordinators provide support and information about donation to families. If a patient authorized donation through a donor registry, the coordinators work with the family to carry-out the patients decision. If the patient had not made a donation decision, the coordinators work with family to obtain authorization for donation. The Organ Donation Services program is focused on increasing the number of organs available for transplantation by increasing the conversion rate of potential organ donors to actual organ donors and by maximizing the placement of organs for transplant. The New England Organ Bank serves twelve transplant centers. NEOB allocates organs for transplant regionally and nationally through OPTN National System. During 2018, 1056 organs were recovered and 931 organs were transplanted.
