The Wisconsin Donor Network is the federally designated organ procurement organization supporting the transplant community in eastern Wisconsin. Guided by an advisory board consisting of members drawn from the community and affiliated transplant centers, the network is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and serves 2.2 million people in a 10-county region, including Door, Kenosha, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha counties.
The Wisconsin Donor Network is also affiliated with the 45 acute-care hospitals in eastern Wisconsin, the transplant programs at Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin, Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital and St. Lukes Medical Center, as well as the Wisconsin Lions Eye Bank and the Wisconsin Tissue Bank.
In addition to recovering organs for transplant, the Wisconsin Donor Network also provides public and professional education about the tremendous need for organ and tissue donors. It is the regions primary, most current source of information regarding organ and tissue donation.
We are a member of the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations, Donate Life America, the United Network for Organ Sharing, and the Wisconsin Coalition on Donation.
