1 ORGAN DONOR CAN SAVE 8 LIVES

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 is the bridge from
tragedy to hope.”

We Save Lives Through Organ and Tissue Donation

We are a nonprofit that services our state’s diverse community by supporting families through tragic loss, during the donation process, and along their grief journey. Our team is passionate about sharing the impact of donation and educating professionals and the community.

Honoring Heroes


As part of LOPA’s Donor Care Center in Covington, LOPA has dedicated over two acres of green space that will serve to honor and celebrate the life saving gift of donation.

You have the opportunity to be a part of LOPA’s Donor Memorial Park with the pavers located at the park’s entrance and the etchings of heroes’ names on the memorial walls.

MAKING LIFE HAPPEN
for all of those waiting on a life saving transplant.
