Description

The Organ Procurement Organizations and Organ Transplant Programs Locator tool is designed to help users find information about the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) resources. This tool assists users in locating places to sign up to be an organ donor, organ transplantation services, organ procurement organization (OPO), or organ transplantation program (OTP). The user searches for an organ procurement or organ transplantation program in any geographic location by entering an address or state and county. The search results listing the organ procurement organizations (OPOs) or Organ Transplantation Programs (OTPs) are returned in groups of ten (numbered from one to ten) and are sorted by increasing distance away from the address location (state and county) previously entered. For each OPO/OTP returned in the list, the user is provided the OPO/OTP name, address, telephone number, website address (where available), link to driving directions (to and from each OPO/OTP) and a link to a map from the address (or county and state) entered.
