DonorLink’s National Recovery Program is our partner to build a hybrid model offering short-term, long-term, PRN and full regional coverage. We are aggressively building our National PRN network of surgeons, establishing regional supply hubs, developing a standardized.

procurement training program, offering consulting services, and expanding imports and preservation support.

DonorLink became the first organ offer call-screening business in the United States 15 years ago, when the need arose from the implementation of electronic offers through DonorNet. In 2017, Donor Link launched procurement services to address short and long-term procurement surgeon staffing needs. In 2022, DonorLink expanded to include recovery and perfusion in anticipation of growing industry needs resulting from CMS changes. In 2022, DonorLink launched NRP procurement. DonorLink procurement surgeons were the first outsourced NRP surgeons in the country who assisted and helped develop NRP protocols. They assisted the first NRPs at Medical City, Baylor Dallas, and Advent Hospital FL first NRP recoveries and are now contracted to perform independently. They are now contracted to provide NRP procurement and standard procurement coverage for all three centers.
