​LIFESHARE OF OKLAHOMA SAVES RECORD NUMBER OF LIVES IN 2020

LifeShare of Oklahoma announced that 2020 was a record-breaking year for saving and healing lives through organ and tissue donation despite the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic brought to the healthcare system.

LifeShare is the organization in Oklahoma that facilities organ, eye and tissue donation, and helped 508 individuals to receive lifesaving organ transplants in 2020 – an increase of 5% over 2019.  In total, 532 organs were transplanted as some patients receive multiple organs in one operation.  This was all made possible by the generosity of 215 organ donors, 9% more donors than the previous year. Also, a more than 20% increase in the number of tissue and cornea donors means healing and restored sight to more than 82,000 people worldwide.

LifeShare partnered with Oklahoma’s hospitals and transplant centers as well as transplant centers across the nation to achieve this unprecedented number of donations and transplants. In 2020, LifeShare was again among the nation’s top performing organ procurement organizations.

“This record-breaking year is in large part in thanks to the commitment and the energy shown by our hospital partners, board, volunteers, staff and friends,” said Jeffrey Orlowski, President and Chief Executive Officer of LifeShare. “Our work is only made possible by the selfless donors and their generous families who make a powerful decision to save and heal lives. Our success is a celebration of our donors and their families, and an acknowledgement of their life saving and healing gifts.” READ FULL STORY.
