OneCall for Life

LifeBanc is committed to providing the resources and support necessary to help healthcare professionals make that OneCall for Life. This mission of life is vital, but cannot even begin without your help.

We have assembled several resources to explain the donation process and when to call LifeBanc. Review the criteria for an organ donor and tissue donor. For quick reference we've posted the description of brain death, brain death guidelines, cardiac death, Donation after Cardiac Death (DCD) and a sample hospital DCD protocol.

We also offer in-services for hospital staff members - any time, any shift.

There is a national movement called the Organ and Transplant Breakthrough Collaborative. Hospitals, Transplant Centers and Organ Procurement Organizations (OPO's) are coming together to increase organ donation rates. It is global and the hope of this collaborative effort to ensure that no one dies because an organ wasn't available in time. Learn how you can make a difference.

LifeBanc and nearly 100,000 people in the U.S. waiting for an organ transplant are depending on you to make OneCall for Life.
