New England Donor Services

Come join our team and become part of what the Boston Globe has recognized as one of the Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts 2018, 2019 & 2020! Saving lives through organ and tissue donation is the mission uniting our employees and drives the work we do. New England Donor Services (NEDS) coordinates organ and tissue donation in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, the eastern counties of Vermont and Bermuda. Through its federally designated organ procurement organization (OPO), New England Organ Bank (NEOB), and its centralized tissue donation services operation, NEDS serves thousands of donor families each year who have generously made the decision to donate and honor the wishes of those who registered as donors and gave the gift of life. Responsible for one of the largest of the 57 OPOs that make up the nation’s donation system, NEDS works with about 200 hospitals and serves 14 million people in our region, screening nearly 50,000 potential donor referrals annually. With approximately $90M in operating revenues, NEDS employs 250 clinical and non-clinical staff members throughout New England. Working sensitively with the donor families, NEDS staff lead donation authorization discussions, maintain medical support of potential donors, coordinate recovery surgeries, allocate organs according to the national transplant waiting list and direct transport of organs to transplant centers and tissues to processors. Our vision is to be a leader in the development and implementation of strategies to increase the life-saving and life-enhancing gifts of organ and tissue donation through effective relationships with our clinical partners, donor families and the communities we serve.
