Ourlegacy Organ And Tissue Donation

What Ourlegacy Organ And Tissue Donation does

OurLegacy is a nonprofit Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) founded in 1973 and headquartered in Maitland, Florida. It serves as the federally designated OPO for a 10-county Central Florida Donation Service Area (Brevard, Flagler, Indian River, Lake, Okeechobee, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Sumter, and Volusia) covering approximately 4.2 million residents. The organization operates as an affiliate of AdventHealth, with its OurLegacy Center co-located on the AdventHealth Orlando campus, and partners with 55+ hospital facilities across the DSA to coordinate organ and tissue recovery from deceased donors.

Core functions include donor referral management, family authorization and support, organ allocation (governed by UNOS rules), and tissue recovery, alongside community education and donor registration. The clinical leadership team comprises a Medical Director (Dr. Bobby Nibhanupudy), Associate Medical Director (Dr. Amay Parikh), a Critical Care Physician (Dr. Gilles Chemtob), and a Quality Assurance Officer (Michelle Lashley), with Executive Director Jaison Abraham and shared VP Mary Albers across the AdventHealth Transplant Institute and OurLegacy. The organization cites a clinical impact of up to 8 lives saved per organ donor and up to 75 lives healed per tissue donor.

As a federally designated OPO, OurLegacy operates under a regulated cost-reimbursement model: revenue is generated primarily through standard acquisition fees paid by transplant centers (which in turn bill Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payors), supplemented by contributions from hospital partners and community fundraising (e.g., the 2025 GR8 to DON8 event with nearly 900 participants and over $130,000 raised). The organization also runs multicultural outreach, including Spanish-language donation education targeting the region's Hispanic/Latino population, and collaborates with external organizations such as the National Kidney Foundation and regional literary/arts groups.
