Description
The point map shows the county in which the federally authorized Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs), as well as, NYS regulated Eye Banks and Tissue Banks. These organizations work closely with the Department of Health (DOH) to educate the public regarding the need for organ and tissue donation and to facilitate the enrollment of individuals in the New York State Donate Life Organ and Tissue Donor Registry. Flyouts will display specific data about the OPOs and eye and tissue banks for the county selected. To view information about another eye bank or tissue bank in the county, click the next link in the flyout. The data is provided by individual OPO, eye bank and tissue bank. The contact information and service areas provided in this dataset are subject to change without DOH’s knowledge since the data is provided by independent OPOs, Eye Banks and Tissue Banks. For more information about the registry, please visit: http://www.health.ny.gov/professionals/patients/donation/organ/. The "About" tab contains additional details concerning this dataset.
