Organ donation is built on trust — trust that patients receive every appropriate effort to save their lives, that donation only proceeds after death is declared by the patient’s medical team, and that every donor and donor family is treated with dignity and respect.

In a new Washington Examiner op-ed, surgeon and former Congressman Dr. Larry Bucshon addresses misinformation about organ donation and calls for continued improvement grounded in facts, patient safety, collaboration, and respect for the lifesaving gift of donation.

“We move the system forward through sustained, measured improvement, not by spreading sensationalized falsehoods at risk of destabilizing the entire system.”
Read the full op-ed from Washington Examiner:

Misinformation about organ donation risks destabilizing a lifesaving system built on strict oversight and patient trust.
