Brown University Health hospitals maintain a relationship with New England Donor Services (NEDS), which provides information and coordination of tissue and organ donations to thousands of families each year. Each year, NEDS works with nearly 200 hospitals, serves 14 million people in our region, and screens nearly 50,000 potential donors.

When working with donors and their families, NEDS staff oversees and coordinates the entire donation process. By following the rigorous authorization protocols, staff can ensure transparency throughout donation discussions, surgical recovery, adherence to the national transplant waiting list, and physical transport of organs and tissues.
Whether an individual decides to become an organ donor, or a family makes the decision to give the gift of life, the positive rippled effect of organ donation and transplant is nearly endless.
Through these donations, NEDS is able to main its mission of saving and healing lives through organ and tissue donation.
Receiving platinum recognition from the Health Resources & Services Administration, Rhode Island Hospital has maintained a close working relationship with NEDS for several decades and has continually been at the forefront of education and enrollment for organ donation. A dedicated in-house coordinator is staffed by NEDS at Rhode Island Hospital daily to assist with the donation, referral and recovery process.
