LifeLink Tissue Bank is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving patients in need of transplantation therapy. It is one of six divisions of the LifeLink Foundation.

Our goal:

To provide the safest, most clinically effective allografts while remaining cognizant of the rising cost of medical care.

• LifeLink Tissue Bank was established in 1985.

• LifeLink Tissue Bank is the largest not-for-profit tissue bank in the southeast and one of the largest in the United States.

• More than 550,000 grafts have been placed with no report of disease transmission.

• LifeLink Tissue Bank is inspected and accredited by The American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB).

We work closely with the following:

• Donor Families: Donors and their families are the core of our organization. We treat them with respect, show them compassion, and offer them comfort in knowing that their gift is protected and optimally utilized.

• Patients/Tissue Transplant Recipients: Recipients are our responsibility and their well-being is our goal. Every step is taken to ensure safety and allograft integrity from the recovery process to the stringent state-of-the art quality assurance processes.

• Recovery Partners: LifeLink provides fully integrated and customized tissue recovery services to its recovery partners which allow them to better serve the needs of their community.

• Physicians and Hospitals: Our allografts are utilized by surgeons and hospitals that trust LifeLink to provide them with safe and clinically effective allografts. Every effort is made to ensure that our allografts are placed back in the hospitals of the communities that we serve.
