Announcements

At the 2019 AATB Annual meeting in Toronto, AATB began working with a group of representatives from both recovery only and processing establishments to develop a revised approach to conducting inspections of establishments that perform the singular activity of recovering donated tissue.

AATB’s Physicians Council has shared a slide deck from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to assist tissue establishment medical directors in educating their organizations’ staff and addressing vaccine hesitancy.

As the world's most visible campaign to inspire organ, eye and tissue donation, the Donate Life Rose Parade® float inspires viewers to save and heal lives through organ, eye and tissue transplantation.
