“The Southwest Transplant Alliance organ recovery center will support maximizing organs transplanted per donor, improve the efficiency of the process, improve the quality of each organ donated and potentially apply forefront research therapies to expand the limits of organ donation.”

Alejandro Mejia, MD | Executive Program Director, Organ Transplantation, Methodist Hospital Dallas

“The organ recovery center will provide this community with a resource to save lives, improve efficiencies related to transplants and reflect dignity and respect to families of the organ donor.”

Steve Love, CEO | DFW Hospital Council

“Organ transplantation has always been a practice where we as surgeons and scientists are asking the community, families and transplant recipients to believe in a miracle. It is one of the most impressive medical advancements in our history that we can take an organ from one individual, transplant it to another and save a life. The Southwest Transplant Alliance recovery center will not only drive efficiency for the medical community, but donor families and transplant recipients will receive the very best medical care and comfort possible.”

Parsia A. Vagefi, MD | Chief of the Division of Surgical Transplantation, UT Southwestern Medical Center

“This new recovery center will provide more efficient and effective collaboration for all entities and health professionals involved in the organ donation process. An excellent process will help ensure that the amazingly unselfish and generous gifts from the donor families will be fully and completely honored. This will then allow more individual lives to be saved and families impacted in our community as recipients are blessed with better health.”
