Versiti is a fusion of donors, scientific curiosity, and precision medicine that recognize the gifts of blood and life are precious. We are home to the world-renowned Blood Research Institute, we enable life saving gifts from our donors, and provide the science behind the medicine through our diagnostic laboratories. Versiti brings together outstanding minds with unparalleled experience in transfusion medicine, transplantation, stem cells and cellular therapies, oncology and genomics, diagnostic lab services, and medical and scientific expertise. This combination of skill and knowledge results in improved patient outcomes, higher quality services and reduced cost of care for hospitals, blood centers, hospital systems, research and educational institutions, and other health care providers. At Versiti, we are passionate about improving the lives of patients and helping our healthcare partners thrive.

Located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Versiti Organ and Tissue is a federally designated organ procurement organization supporting the transplant community in southeastern Wisconsin. We recover organs for transplant and educate both the public and medical professionals about the tremendous need for organ and tissue donors. We are guided by an advisory board that includes members from the community and affiliated transplant centers. The network serves 50 critical care hospitals and 3 transplant centers for a population of 2.3 million people in a 12-county region. We are the region's primary, most current source of information about organ and tissue donation in collaboration with our state team, Donate Life Wisconsin.

More than 100,000 Americans are waiting for the organ they need to survive. 2000 of those individuals reside in Wisconsin. The need is great and Versiti is committed to increasing the number of donated organs, eyes and tissue available for transplant to save and enhance lives.
