LifeLink Foundation

LifeLink Foundation includes three organ recovery organizations: LifeLink of Florida, serving west and southwest Florida; LifeLink of Georgia, serving the state of Georgia; and LifeLink of Puerto Rico, serving Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This organization also houses the LifeLink Tissue Bank, which makes tens of thousands of tissue grafts available for transplant each year.

Their Transplantation Immunology Laboratory serves as “matchmaker” between potential transplant recipients and organ donors for three transplant centers. This state-of-the-art lab conducts research to identify early detection of rejection to improve patient outcome, making them unique among organ and tissue recovery organizations.

LifeLink Foundation collectively makes possible more than 1,500 lifesaving organ transplants each year, through the generosity of donors and their families in our communities.
