In addition to offering families the opportunity to donate, CORE coordinates the surgical recovery and placement of donated organs, tissues, marrow, and corneas.
CORE also devotes significant resources to heightening understanding about the donation process.
In its relationship with UPMC Health System, CORE in Pittsburgh is the lifeline for the thousands of people on UPMC Health System and other local transplant waiting lists and an invaluable partner for the organ, tissue, and corneal transplantation teams caring for these patients. CORE works with the hospitals and communities in its network, donor families, and transplant recipients to actively promote understanding about donation.
