LifeNet Health reports record year for organ transplants
Organ Procurement division supported nearly 500 transplants,
 mirroring national growth in life-saving procedures       

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Jan. 25, 2019) — LifeNet Health facilitated a record number of organ transplants in its service area last year — 497 in total — a reflection of the growing number of Virginians who choose to be organ and tissue donors. 

As one of 58 federally designated Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs), LifeNet Health coordinates organ donation throughout most of Virginia and part of West Virginia. The increase in transplants stems from growing participation in Virginia’s donor registry, which includes more than 4 million adults, as well as effective collaboration between LifeNet Health and transplant centers across the commonwealth.

He is being featured among the float’s 44 floragraphs — a portrait made of organic materials such as seeds, spices and crushed flowers — that honor organ, tissue and eye donors from across the country.
