IOPO Professional Partners in facilitating Organ, Tissue and Eye Donation in Indiana

Partners in Donation

Highly valued organizations and people who work closely with IOPO to save lives by advancing organ, tissue, and eye donation and transplantation.

IOPO values our professional partners who assist us in advancing organ, tissue, and eye donation throughout Indiana. Our partners include:

The Transplant Hospitals: The Indiana Transplant Hospitals transplant the organs procured by IOPO, saving lives that otherwise could not be saved.
Trauma Centers and Hospital ERs: Hospital emergency rooms and trauma centers across the state receive the unfortunate victims of violence and brain trauma who ultimately may become donors.
Teachers: Teachers in the Elementary Schools, Middle Schools and Jr. High Schools, and High Schools partner with IOPO by conducting classroom introductory training about donation through the use of our Organ Donation - Making the Decision (Driver's Ed), Chalk One Up For Life, and Life is Cool education programs. Their participation helps advance donation education in age appropriate ways and helps us increase the potential donor population.
Nurses: Nurses across the state are trained to understand the clinical triggers that identify a potential organ donor. They are the front line in knowing when IOPO needs to be called.
Clergy: Clergy members are invaluable partners with IOPO, assisting the donor families through their grief and helping the families recognize that some good can come out of their tragedy by understanding the lives that can be saved by giving the gift of organ tissue, and eye donation.
