We are grateful for all South Carolinians who are registered organ, eye, and tissue donors, providing hope to those waiting for a lifesaving transplant.
A Statement from the board on recent opo decertification
Donate Life SC’s mission is to educate and inspire our community to say yes to organ, eye and tissue donor registration. In light of that mission, we are concerned by HHS’s recent decision to decertify Network for Hope, the organ procurement organization (OPO) serving Kentucky and parts of Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia.
explore living donation
Last year, more than 5,700 people became living donors. Living donors can be part of the solution to solve the donor shortage and possibly save the life of someone who wishes to pursue a transplant. Learn more about the different options for living donation- Directed Donation, Kidney-paired Donation, and Non-direct Donation. What can YOU make possible?
Prisma Health Kidney Transplant Program in Greenville
Prisma Health’s new kidney transplant program at Greenville Memorial Hospital has received approval to perform kidney transplants by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), which oversees organ procurement and allocation nationally. The Prisma Health Transplant Center will be the only transplant center in the Upstate area of South Carolina and will bring leading-edge care to kidney disease patients who previously had to travel more than 100 miles for transplant-related procedures.
