Quick Facts about the Donor Network
The New York Organ Donor Network works closely with all nine transplant centers and more than 100 hospitals in the Greater New York metropolitan area.
The Donor Network serves a culturally and ethnically diverse population of 13 million people in New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island); Long Island; Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester Counties; and Pike County, PA.
All hospitals in the United States must, by law, notify their local organ procurement organization of all in-​hospital deaths in a timely manner.
For organs and tissues, the Donor Network sends our medically-​trained staff to hospitals to evaluate and maintain potential donors.
For tissue donation on its own, we contact the next of kin of thousands of families each year to seek donation.
Signing a donor card or the New York State Organ and Tissue Donor Registry isn’t enough. We always request permission for organ and tissue donation from the patient’s next of kin. So it’s so important for people to tell their families about their wish to donate organs and tissues.
The New York Organ Donor Network is a member of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), which oversees the national organ transplant waiting list as well as all transplant centers and the organ procurement organizations.
When organs are donated in the New York metropolitan area, the Donor Network and UNOS match them with one of the approximately 6,800 local candidates waiting, based on donor-​recipient blood type, medical urgency, body weight and size, and proximity of recipient to donor. If no appropriate recipient is found locally, the organs are then offered to recipients in different regions of the United States.
