The Mid-America Transplant Foundation has awarded more than $788,000 in Clinical Innovation Fund grants to three prestigious medical universities. The grants will benefit St. Louis University, Washington University in St. Louis and Emory University as they research ways to increase the availability of organs for transplantation and achieve better health outcomes for transplant recipients.

DMV staff are front-line champions, committed to asking the donor registration question to customers every day.

A diverse panel of experts, community leaders, and transplant recipients provided insight into the impact and importance of organ and tissue donation and transplantation Saturday during a Facebook Live Townhall.

Through the generosity of donors and in partnership with more than 120 hospitals in the region, Mid-America Transplant is projecting more lives will be saved in 2020 than ever before.

Every day, we at Mid-America Transplant are humbled by the countless stories of generous donor families, the perseverance of transplant patients, and the incredibly talented medical professionals with whom we work every day to save lives. 2019 was a truly remarkable year for organ and tissue transplant in our region.
