The majority of those who register as organ donors will never be able to donate organs. In our latest blog, we explain why organ donation is so rare and emphasize the importance of joining the organ, eye, and tissue donor registry. #SayYesGiveLife #DonateLife https://lnkd.in/gnAdY6_a

Located in Saint Louis, Missouri, Mid-America is one of 56 federally designated organizations of its kind in the United States. Mid-America Transplant's primary service offering is to facilitate and coordinate the organ and tissue donation process. With a mission to save lives through excellence in organ and tissue donation, we have been at the forefront of enhancing the quality of organs and tissue for transplant and a leader in eye bank services. Throughout our history, we have relentlessly pursued our core values of compassion, collaboration, excellence, innovation, integrity, and stewardship to create a positive donation experience for Donor Families, which is at the heart of what matters most to Mid-America Transplant.

2024 marks 50 years since Mid-America Transplant first started facilitating and coordinating organ, eye, and tissue donation in our region. This incredible milestone would not have been possible without the work of our dedicated staff, whose compassion and collaboration have fueled our mission for half of a century. This July, we held a gathering for employees filled with food, games, and a photo booth. Thank you to our celebration committee for planning this event. Here’s to another 50 years of innovation and excellence, as we strive to ensure that organs and tissues are available to those in need. #UntilNoOneIsWaiting #EmployeeAppreciation #MadeForTheMission
