OKLAHOMA CITY (January 11, 2024)— For the tenth consecutive year, LifeShare Network achieved a record-breaking milestone by saving and healing more lives through organ, tissue and eye donation across Oklahoma. The generosity of hundreds of donors and their families served as the foundation for this lifesaving work.
LifeShare, the organization in Oklahoma responsible for the recovery of organs and tissues for donation, proudly announced that 559 lives were saved in 2023 – the most in a single year in Oklahoma.
None of these lives would have been saved without the generosity of 233 donors and their families who made the selfless decision to donate organs. These donors provided 649 organs for transplant, an increase over the organization’s best previous year in 2022. Last year, 602 lifesaving organs were provided by 249 donor heroes.
Among the significant achievements of the organization this year, LifeShare recovered lungs en bloc, performed a perfusion utilizing an XVIVO XPS device, and delivered the lungs for transplant. This was the first of its kind perfusion performed entirely by an OPO-based team.
LifeShare Network also reported a total of 949 tissue donors for 2023. Additionally, the organization facilitated 211 birth tissue donors. Birth tissue for donation is the placenta recovered from healthy newborn deliveries. This tissue brings hope and healing to patients who have a variety of medical needs including treating wounds.
