You can choose to have the report generated as a PDF document (for viewing using the free Adobe® Reader®) or as an Excel® file from which you can reformat the data, create charts, etc. to meet your needs.

Set Optional Query Criteria
You can select specific age ranges, genders, races/ethnicities, OPO Service areas and counties (depending on report level selected) to narrow down the report focusing on demographics you are most interested in. The default criteria is to select all data for the most recent run date. Leaving the defaults will generate very large reports that can take a few minutes to generate. It is recommended to filter the data to meet your needs.

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 Wisconsin Donor Network. The UW Hospital and Clinics Organ Procurement Organization is located in Madison and serves the following 59 counties:

Adams, Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Brown, Buffalo, Burnett, Calumet, Chippewa, Clark, Columbia, Crawford, Dane, Dodge, Dunn, Eau Claire, Florence, Fond du Lac, Forest, Grant, Green, Green Lake, Iowa, Iron, Jackson, Jefferson, Juneau, Kewaunee, La Crosse, Lafayette, Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Marinette, Marquette, Menominee, Monroe, Oconto, Oneida, Outagamie, Pepin, Polk, Portage, Price, Richland, Rock, Rusk, Sauk, Sawyer, Shawano, Taylor, Trempealeau, Vernon, Vilas, Washburn, Waupaca, Waushara, Winnebago and Wood.

The Wisconsin Donor Network (WDN) is located in Milwaukee and is affiliated with the transplant programs at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital and St. Luke's Medical Center. WDN serves 2.3 million people in a 10-county region:
