HHS Decertifies Organ Procurement Org | Cincinnati News

HHS is decertifying Network for Hope, an organ procurement org covering Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia, after uncovering over 100 cases of serious safety failures — including transplanting organs from patients who weren’t truly deceased or were medically unfit. The agency says the organization repeatedly ignored red flags and failed to uphold basic standards, despite multiple warnings. Network for Hope’s CEO denies wrongdoing, claims they’ve fixed the system with new safeguards now enshrined in Kentucky law, and vows to fight the decision — arguing it will devastate thousands waiting for life-saving transplants.
