Public leaders who take time to understand organ donation help strengthen the systems that save lives.

Last week we welcomed El Monte Councilmembers Dr. Julia Ruedas, Cindy Galvan and Martin Herrera to the OneLegacy Transplant Recovery Center in Azusa. 💙

During their visit, they toured our donor care units and met with clinical staff, leadership, and our public education team to learn more about the lifesaving work of organ, eye, and tissue donation.

The councilmembers also met the people at the heart of this mission — donor families and transplant recipients. One especially moving moment came when a lung recipient shared a photo of her donor, a powerful reminder that every transplant carries a story of generosity and love.

Thank you, Dr. Julia Ruedas, Cindy Galvan, and Martin Herrera for taking the time to learn about the lives behind this mission and for supporting the gift of life.

What if the way we train our staff could be the difference between hope and heartbreak for donor families who offer a lifesaving donation? Every decision our clinical staff makes carries the immense responsibility and privilege of saving lives. That’s why OneLegacy is consistently dedicated to investing in our training approach.

This month, OneLegacy launched simulation-based learning in the Donor Care Unit (DCU). This innovative program highlights OneLegacy’s dedication to medical advancement, staff growth, and clinical excellence. The simulation-based training immerses our teams in highly realistic, high-pressure scenarios, allowing them to practice, adapt, and master critical skills in a safe environment. This initiative is also the result of close collaboration between our IT and Clinical teams, whose partnership ensures the technology behind each simulation is as precise and impactful as the care we deliver. By combining clinical expertise with advanced technical innovation, we are strengthening how we prepare our teams for the moments that matter most.

By equipping our staff with advanced, hands-on preparation, we’re ensuring the best possible outcomes for every donor entrusted to our care.

Together, we are setting new standards for donor care and honoring every gift with unwavering excellence. We are honored by our dedicated clinical teams who bring compassion and expertise to every moment. Medical technology is advancing daily, and OneLegacy is grateful to be at the forefront of innovation in donation and transplantation.

February marks 100 years of celebrating Black History Month, a time to honor and recognize the contributions and achievements of African Americans in the U.S. This month OneLegacy will share the stories of African Americans whose lives have been touched by the power of organ eye and tissue donation.

Here is the story of Dr. Robert Hill, heart and kidney recipient and proud member of the Divine Nine. Dr. Hill joined more than 70 participants of the Divine Nine, organ transplant recipients and donor families to participate in the MLK Day Parade.

Register as an organ, eye, and tissue donor today and share your decision with your family. One “yes” can save and heal lives.

We honor Raejonette today, a young woman that became a hero to others when she passed away at only 22 years old. Through her selfless act of organ donation, Raejonette’s heart, liver, and kidneys were donated to those in need, allowing her spirit to continue making a difference in the world.

In this video her family decorates a floral portrait and shares her legacy.

"I am a donor mom. I donated my son’s organs after he died from a traumatic brain injury he sustained in an automobile accident. I had no knowledge of organ donation and transplantation prior to his death, but the organ procurement team nurse helped me through the process, and my son's organs improved the lives of several folks waiting, including an 11-year-old boy. In addition to being a rainbow in someone’s cloud, meeting his heart recipient helped me through my grief process. Organ donation changes and saves lives." – Carolyn, honoring her son, Jerrell. 💙💚 Donate Life Connecticut New England Donor Services

In honor of Black History Month, we reflect on the nearly 43,000 Black donors to date who have generously given the gift of life. Their selfless acts are a testament to the power of community and the profound impact of giving. Currently, over 29,000 Black patients are waiting – this number represents lives on hold and families hoping for a second chance. Let's work together to close the gap and celebrate these lifesaving heroes by continuing to raise awareness of the importance of donation in our communities.

Happy Black History Month!

This month, we honor the past, celebrate the present, and continue building a more equitable future. We recognize and uplift Black history, resilience, and excellence, today and always.

Throughout the month, we’ll amplify voices, embrace diversity, and promote inclusion, while raising awareness about organ, eye, and tissue donation for all.

We were honored to stand with members of the Divine Nine and our incredible OneLegacy Ambassadors at the Los Angeles MLK Day Parade. It was a day rooted in service, unity, and community.

Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words, “Whatever affects one directly, affects us all indirectly,” this moment was about more than a parade. It was about showing up together to raise awareness around organ, eye, and tissue donation. OneLegacy values the importance of health equity, education, and trust in our communities.

One organ donor can save up to eight lives and heal countless others. Trusted community voices help make that impact possible. Thank you to everyone who rode, walked, waved, and led with heart. This is what community looks like.

We are always present in the communities we serve. From Union Station to neighborhoods across Southern California, OneLegacy’s metro campaign highlights the power of visibility by bringing awareness throughout OneLegacy’s incredibly expansive and diverse service area and meeting people exactly where they are.

The campaign graphics tell a complete story, featuring both a donor mom and a recipient side by side, representing the full circle of donation and the shared humanity that connects us all. Across lines, communities, beliefs, and generations, diverse voices come together with a shared purpose to highlight unity through organ donation. Captured through real moments of connection and everyday reactions, this out-of-home experience reinforces the importance of showing up in the community, being seen, and sparking awareness where it matters most. All moving together on one train that connects us all.

We're moved by this "Good News" piece that NBC aired last night. At one minute and forty-five seconds into the piece, Josh Boyd, a OneLegacy donor dad, shares about a OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade Float miracle. This story highlights the power and deep connection within the organ, eye, and tissue donation and transplantation community.

In 2025, OneLegacy coordinated organ donation from 748 individuals, an all-time National record. Because of the generosity of these donors and their families, and the support of dedicated medical teams, an organizational record of 1,949 lifesaving organs were transplanted.

The year’s accomplishments included record kidney and liver transplant numbers, 975 kidneys and 467 livers. In 2025, 76% of OneLegacy’s organ recipients identified as racially or ethnically diverse, underscoring the organization’s commitment to equitable care. These milestones are critical as kidney disease remains a leading health concern nationwide and among diverse populations.

Medical innovation also contributed to the year’s success. OneLegacy played a pivotal role in two groundbreaking achievements: the first-ever bladder transplant in partnership with Keck Medicine of USC and UCLA Health, and OneLegacy’s first pediatric partial heart transplant in partnership with Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. These advancements not only saved lives but also opened doors for patients who previously had few options.

In 2025, OneLegacy fulfilled the wishes of 2,335 tissue donors, who saved and healed over 135,000 lives. OneLegacy also helped restore sight to 1,585 recipients, through cornea transplants, an increase of more than 10% from 2024.

This year reflected the strength of collaboration across donation and transplantation in Southern California. OneLegacy deepened partnerships with more than 200 hospitals and eight transplant centers to continue to ensure every opportunity for donation was honored with care, dignity, and precision.

As OneLegacy looks to the future, the organization remains committed to advancing science, strengthening partnerships, supporting donor families, and expanding the lifesaving impact of organ, eye, and tissue donation.
