LOPA Recognized Nationally for its Efforts to Maximize Every Gift of Tissue Donation

Agency Announced as a 2024 Partnership in Excellence Award Recipient

LifeNet Health, a global leader in regenerative medicine, recognized LOPA’s Quality Department as one of the top three Quality Assurance Programs in the country. LOPA was honored with the Partnership in Excellence Award during LifeNet Health’s National Recovery Network Services Health Expo on November 13, 2024. 

Created in 2020, the Partnership in Excellence Awards highlight dedication of tissue recovery organizations in musculoskeletal and cardiovascular recoveries. The awards were expanded this year to include Quality Assurance as a separate category, reinforcing the role of quality to fulfill stringent acceptance criteria that ensure safe and successful donations.

LOPA’s Quality Department encompasses oversight for all organs and tissues recovered from donor heroes throughout Louisiana. Last year, the organization honored the wishes of 793 heroes, offering the gift of life to others through organ and tissue donation.
