About us
Donor Network West is a federally designated nonprofit, 501(c)3, organ procurement and tissue recovery organization (OPO) with headquarters in Northern California and Northern Nevada. Established in 1987, we serve more than 13 million people and connect a donor’s gift to those in need in 45 counties in Northern California and Northern Nevada. Organ, eye, and tissue donation offers the hope to heal. The generous decisions of donors and their families allow us to recover and allocate organs and tissues for transplantation and research. We are able to carry out our mission of saving and healing lives thanks to our partnership with 175 hospitals, doctors, nurses, more than 500 funeral homes and 44 coroners and medical examiners. Donor Network West is proud to be a Donate Life organization and an accredited member of the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) and the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). We are additionally members of Donate Life California and Donate Life Nevada. Join our mission: https://www.donornetworkwest.org/careers/

Incredible work as always 💚💙
The Association for Multicultural Affairs in Transplantation (AMAT) supports our partners in the transplant field as they save and heal lives in our diverse communities.
This week, AMAT President Ieesha J. is on the move, collaborating with Black Health Connect. Meeting and speaking with Sidney Tucker from Philly, who has been waiting five years for his life-saving kidney, provided even more motivation for working in this life saving mission. 🙏🏾 We all have a role to play in reducing wait times for those in need. The conference provided a valuable opportunity to network and raise awareness about organ donation and transplantation, with a focus on improving access and health outcomes for multicultural communities. Let’s continue to advocate for those in need and make a difference together! 💪🏾💙 💚 #AMAT #OrganDonation #HealthEquity #Advocacy
