MTN Ranks Third Nationally for Donation, Transplantation Rates

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a report that outlines individual organ procurement organization (OPO) performance in 2021, the most recent year for which data is available. This report places all OPOs into one of three tiers based on donation and transplantation rates, and it notes that of 56 federally certified U.S. OPOs:

• 15 — including Midwest Transplant Network — are Tier 1 (26%),

• 18 are Tier 2 (32%) and

• 24 are Tier 3 (42%).

MTN ranks No. 3 nationally for both donation and transplantation rates; it has been in the top three OPOs for both rates all three years that this report has been released.

MTN’s assessment rating reflects the quality, professionalism and excellence in partnerships throughout our service area, as well as the incredible generosity of organ, eye and tissue donors and their families. Thank you for your important contributions toward MTN’s mission.
