We support the Organ Donation Referral Improvement Act as a crucial step in enhancing the nation's organ donation system. This legislation will simplify the hospital referral process, making it easier for Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) to identify and authorize potential donors. Most importantly, it ensures that every potential donor has the chance to save lives. We commend Representative Rob Wittman for his leadership and dedication to advancing the cause of organ donation. This Act addresses a key gap in our current system by studying automatic donor referrals and recommending nationwide adoption. It also leverages innovative technology to foster collaboration between OPOs and hospitals. Research shows that automated referral systems lead to: ? Increased donor identification ? Timely, consistent referrals ? Higher donation rates ? Reduced nursing hours spent on donation cases As we work toward our goal of 50,000 organs transplanted in 2026, AOPO and its members remain committed to supporting legislation that strengthens OPOs’ ability to fulfill their lifesaving mission. We urge Congress to prioritize the passage of this Act to drive innovation and save more lives.? Read our full statement here: https://lnkd.in/ebBjMfTB

Meet our three Fund A Cure champions, Taylor Kearns, Ella Virkler, and Audrey Demong, three women with their own unique stories who share the history, challenges, and successes of living with T1D. Breakthrough T1D has made a real difference in their T1D journeys, and they’ll be attending and sharing their stories at the Promise Gala on November 14. We hope you can join us on November 14 to celebrate these champions or consider making a Fund A Cure gift, directly supporting research. You can also learn more about Taylor, Ella, and Audrey here: https://lnkd.in/eMSZBNk3 More About Fund A Cure: Fund A Cure donations are 100% tax-deductible donations, that will be invested in Breakthrough T1D's effective and focused research agenda aimed to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until there is a cure. We envision a world where the burden of T1D no longer exists. It’s a world where people don’t have to manage their diabetes—don’t take insulin, don’t have blood-sugar highs and lows, and don’t develop complications. That’s how we define cures for T1D, and it requires continual advancement on three fronts: early detection, disease-modifying therapies, and cell therapies.??
