LOPA’s Core Purpose is Making Life Happen
As the organ procurement organization for Louisiana, we help save lives, restore health and enhance medical care through organ and tissue donation.
LOPA collaborates with hospitals, parish coroners, funeral homes, researchers, and driver’s education professionals in support of our Core Purpose, Making Life Happen. These strong partnerships help us provide quality care and education throughout the donation process.
Save Lives through Organ and Tissue Donation
The donation process begins when someone registers their decision to save lives. It is easy to register as a donor in Louisiana:
At the Office of Motor Vehicles or Public Tag Agency when getting a driver’s license or ID card
Through the Louisiana Donor Registry
Through LA Wallet App
The next step is notifying family members or next of kin of your decision to be a donor. In addition to helping ensure that your decision is honored, telling your family and friends also takes the pressure off of them to make a decision during a stressful and emotional time.
