Program areas at Upper Midwest Organ Procurement Organization / Lifesource

Organ, eye and tissue procurement:the Organ, eye, and tissue Procurement departments work collaboratively with hospital staff in the Lifesource donor service area (Minnesota, north dakota, south dakota, and a portion of western Wisconsin) to identify potential Organ, eye and tissue donors, provide support to families throughout the donation process, support protocols established by the united network for Organ sharing to match the organs with the intended recipient, coordinate all clinical activities and arrange the surgical recovery of organs, tissues and eyes. Donation coordinators and tissue recovery personnel, in conjunction with donor services center staff acquire known information about an individual's documented designation for donation. If no known documentation exists, the coordinator will work with the next-of-kin to obtain authorization for donation. In 2022, Lifesource managed 244 Organ donation cases, resulting in 760 Organ transplants. In addition, staff coordinated the import and subsequent transplant of 473 organs from donors outside the Lifesource region for transplantation in the Lifesource region. These services support the work of nine transplant programs located in the Lifesource service area. Lifesource tissue recovery staff coordinated 1060 tissue donation cases, resulting in the transplant of approximately 77,175tissue grafts consisting of bone, connective tissue, fascia, skin, vein and heart valves. Lifesource tissue recovery staff also coordinated 619 eye donation cases, resulting in corneas recovered for transplant and research.
Public education:lifesource maintains a strong commitment to public education activities designed to increase awareness and understanding about the need for Organ and tissue donation in the Lifesource region. The Lifesource region has an overall 70% registered donor rate, among the highest in the nation. The education activities are focused on developing external relationships for the purpose of building support for donation and positioning Lifesource as the donation expert in the region.

In 2021, 263 volunteers supported the Lifesource mission through high school and community education. The public education department also worked to increase donation through media campaigns, community outreach initiatives, government relations and donor family services.
