Program areas at Infinite Legacy
Organ coordination: our clincial staff recover kidneys, hearts, livers, pancreata, intestines and lungs with transplant surgeon(s). Once recovered, these organs, are transported and transplanted into a recipient patient. Clinical staff members perform an on-site review of the patient's clinical course, are responsible for the clinical management of organ donors and provide technical support to the coordinators and surgeons during the recovery process.
Family services: the family services coordinator is responsible for coordinating a wide range of support for potential organ and tissue donor families. They establish initial contact with the potential donor family and provide trauma, grief and bereavement services for the family or identify hospital resources to provide these services. Information is communicated in an easily understood and accurate manner to families whose ability to process information is impaired by the emotional traumatic circumstances. The coordinators offer support to potential donor families for as long as necessary. They provide two years of aftercare support and handle all communication that may occurbetween the donors' families and transplant recipients.
Donor services coordination: coordinators who provide donor services receive the initial communication of a potential donor case. They are responsible for local organ allocation, logistical planning, import offers, triage of referrals and logistics for tissue donation. Donor services coordinates all aspects of the process in collaboration with the organization's family services staff, tissue recovery team and the quality assurance department.
Education, outreach, and hospital development: the business development division works collaboratively with 68 hospitals partners to identify and implement solutions for best practices in saving lives through organ and tissue donation. The community outreach department is responsible for educating the community about organ, eye and tissue donation and empowering the public to register as donors through education and outreach, events, community partnerships, presentations and grassroots initiatives. The communications & marketing department raises awareness about the critical importance of registering to be an organ and tissue donor through media campaigns which share facts about donation and stories of donor heroes and those who received a second chance at life.
Tissue coordination: the highly trained clinical team recovers skin, eyes, bones and cardiovascular tissue and packages it according to the food and drug administration guidelines before it is sent to processors to save and heal lives.
Skin processing program: we recover high quality allograft skin to be used for treatment in burn, trauma and wound care cases. We also provides cost effective, specifically sized allograft skin products and processing services to other third-party tissue recovery programs.
