Transplant Staffing Resources

What Transplant Staffing Resources does

Transplant Staffing Resources (TSR) is a U.S.-based healthcare staffing agency that supplies certified organ and tissue donation professionals to Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) and transplant centers on a temporary or long-term contract basis. Founded in 2018 by Jefferson Hare (CEO) and Heidi Hare (CFO) and headquartered in Michigan, the company operates as a private LLC and deploys a team of more than 175 contract professionals nationwide. Its service portfolio spans seven specialized offerings: Tissue Travelers (CTBS-certified), Organ Recovery Coordinators (CPTC-certified), Transplant Preservationists (CTP-certified), On-Site Family Services Coordinators, On-Site Hospital Development, Remote Tissue Screeners, and Remote Organ Allocation Specialists. All deployed professionals are required to hold a minimum of 3-5 years of clinical experience and relevant certifications, with coverage under professional liability insurance.

The company's revenue model is professional services staffing: contracts are negotiated directly with OPOs and transplant centers based on daily rates plus reimbursable expenses, with quote-based pricing tailored to each engagement. Its go-to-market is direct B2B sales, with no digital marketplace or intermediary distribution layer. TSR positions itself as the first travel staffing agency in the U.S. to provide tissue recovery technicians, leveraging its founder's 18+ years of donation industry experience and personal relationships across 21 OPOs to win contracts. Named reference customers include New Jersey Sharing Network, Mid America Transplant, and Live On Nebraska, and the company's stated geographic reach is nationwide across the United States.

TSR's underlying technology footprint is limited to a Squarespace-hosted marketing website and standard staffing operations; there is no disclosed proprietary platform, no AI or automation layer, and no API or integration ecosystem. Its competitive positioning rests on talent vetting, certification compliance (CTBS, CTP, CPTC alignment with the American Association of Tissue Bank), and the operational responsiveness cited by reference customers. The company is unencumbered by external institutional capital, has not disclosed any funding rounds, and does not report revenue, leaving its financial scale inferable only through headcount and contract benchmarks.
