What is an Organ Procurement Organization (OPO)?

Each organ procurement organization (OPO) is one of 59 federally designated organ procurement centers across the United States. An OPO is responsible for matching organs from a patient who has died as a result of traumatic head injury with an individual awaiting a life-saving organ - the gift of life.

When a staff member at one of the hospitals affiliated with an OPO calls to say that a potential organ donor has been identified, the donation process is set in motion. A procurement coordinator offers the next-of-kin the option of organ donation. If the family agrees, the coordinator calls the national computerized registry of the United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS), in an effort to match medically and physically the organ donor with a waiting transplant recipient.

There are two OPOs in Wisconsin: The University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics Organ Procurement Organization and the Versiti Organ and Tissue. The UW Hospital and Clinics Organ Procurement Organization is located in Madison and serves the following 59 counties:
