Hear from the Experts That Support Reform

The professional medical community and its leaders are taking a stand against the new Rule and favor the SID&T and NASEM reforms leading to a peer-reviewed science-based alignment of the organ procurement and transplantation system. This page includes highlights of the national medical leaders sharing their decades of knowledge and commitment to sound metrics and best practices guiding procurement and transplant. Science not politics must govern the most sensitive areas of our health care system.
