Who We Are
OneLegacy is Southern California's organ, eye and tissue recovery organization, serving as the region's bridge to life, connecting donors to patients in need.
About OneLegacy
Organ, eye and tissue donation in the United States is more than just a pink donor dot on your driver's license – there is a well-established and experienced network of federally-designated, non-profits across the country, called Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs), all working together to save lives.
OneLegacy is the nation's largest OPO, serving the diverse Southern California region. Working with hospitals, physicians, transplant centers and the community, OneLegacy educates about and facilitates donation, as well as builds a community of long-term support for the families who give the generous gift of life.
