Transparent data sharing across OPOs would be immensely valuable in helping us all save more lives. Since there is no existing national platform for sharing this data publicly, Mid-America Transplant has created this page to report our data across several categories that impact our ability to facilitate lifesaving organ and tissue transplants. We will update this quarterly to demonstrate our diligence.
