The Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA) was established in 1988 as an independent, not-for-profit organ and tissue recovery agency. LOPA is federally designated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid as the organ procurement organization responsible for servicing the state of Louisiana. LOPA is tasked with two main objectives; (1) housing and maintaining the Louisiana Donor Registry, and (2) recovering organs and tissue for transplant.

LOPA partners with professionals throughout the state, including eye banks and all hospitals within Louisiana, to accomplish its life saving and enhancing goals. Education is key to this process, and its staff offers a variety of educational opportunities for the public and professionals within the State of Louisiana.
