Located in Richmond, Virginia, United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a non-profit, scientific and educational organization that administers the nation's Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), established by the U.S. Congress in 1984. Through the OPTN, we collect and manage data about every transplant event occurring in the United States; facilitate the organ matching and placement process using UNOS-developed data technology and the UNOS Organ Center; and bring together medical professionals, transplant recipients and donor families to develop organ transplantation policy.
