A Look at LifeShare

---

LifeShare, created in 1986 as The Oklahoma Organ Sharing Network, is a nonprofit, federally designated organ procurement organization (OPO) dedicated to the recovery of organs and tissue for transplant purposes. We work closely with three transplant centers, OU Medical Center, INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center, and St. John’s Medical Center in Oklahoma and numerous transplant facilitates across the nation. Additionally, we strive to raise awareness for organ, eye and tissue donation and transplantation through public education.  

LifeShare is located at 4705 NW Expressway in Oklahoma City. The 21,109 square foot building was completely renovated both inside and out. LifeShare has an in-house communications center for tissue screening. There is a secondary office located in Tulsa and tissue recovery center in Oklahoma City.

LifeShare has more than 200 staff members responsible for various tasks including organ, eye and tissue screening and recovery, medical management of potential donors, quality control services, bereavement care for families, public education and awareness, hospital development and basic administration.
