Transplants

The American Transplant Foundation’s mission is to save lives every day by reducing the growing list of women, men, and children who are waiting for a transplant.

Founded in 1982, the American Society of Transplantation (AST) is an organization of more than 3,800 professionals dedicated to advancing the field of transplantation and improving patient care by promoting research, education, advocacy, and organ donation. The society is the largest transplant organization in North America and is recognized as the premier society for transplantation. AST members are sought out as transplant experts and advocates. Other transplant organizations, policy makers, regulatory agencies, payors, academic institutions, and the general public look to the AST for guidance, research, and resources related to transplantation.

UNOS’ mission is to advance organ availability and transplantation by uniting and supporting our communities for the benefit of patients through education, technology and policy development.
