At University Medical Center New Orleans, some of the most important work happens after loss. As a Level 1 Trauma Center, University Medical Center sees the hardest cases. Not every patient can be saved. The partnership with the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA) ensures that even in those moments, there is still a path to impact.

A Donor Walk honors the people University Medical Center calls “heroes” as they are wheeled to the operating room in silence. People gather around the American flag outside. It is a public acknowledgment of a life that will now save others.

It also follows the roles behind the scenes. Clinical teams, LOPA coordinators, and hospital leadership each carry part of the process. There is always compassion for families and dignity for the patient.

Out of tragedy comes the chance for second chances. One donor can save up to nine lives.
