We’re so inspired by this amazing mom who’s demanding we #StopWaitingForAnOrgan. There are over 120,000 people waiting for transplants and the orgs responsible need to be held accountable. Let’s join @1tiredmom15 and sign the petition for more oversight! bit.ly/2WI3mKB

According to new analysis conducted by a research team at the Penn, there are approximately 28,000 additional available organs each year from deceased donors that do not get procured or transplanted due to breakdowns in the current system. bit.ly/2DZwAgL

Americans wait 3 to 5 years on average for a kidney transplant. In the meantime, thousands of people die waiting. The status quo is unacceptable and we are committed to positive change. CMS Innovation Center CMSGov HHS.gov Administrator Seema Verma Alex Azar nytimes.com/2019/06/11/opi…

We've seen transformational advances in science and technology since we passed the National Organ Transplant Act, but our organ transplant system has not kept up. I’m thrilled that is finally changing thanks to tireless advocacy from patients and leaders like Jerold Mande.

Thank you to Larry Bucshon, MD and Robin Kelly for introducing the Securing the U.S. OPTN Act today! Too many patients are dying unnecessarily due to a lack of basic accountability. This bill will make our organ transplant system safer, more effective and more equitable.
