Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency helps save lives, restore health and enhance medical care through organ and tissue donation. LOPA is a nonprofit that services our state’s diverse community by supporting families through tragic loss, during the donation process, and along their grief journey. Donation can save and enhance lives in a variety of ways. Most notable are organs that are transplanted into very sick people–giving them a second chance at life. Organs that can be donated are: heart, lungs, liver/hepatocytes, pancreas/islet cells, kidneys, and intestines. Yet, people suffering with more common ailments such as sports injuries, eye diseases such as glaucoma, and clogged veins can be treated with donated tissues. Burn victims and those with severe wounds also benefit from tissue donation.
