Organ Donors Save Lives

Each year, approximately 30 patients at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center donate organs at the time of their death, becoming silent heroes and impacting as many as 90 lives. In many of these cases their death is the result of a sudden, unexpected and traumatic event.

In partnership with the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA) and Donate Life Louisiana (DLA), Our Lady of the Lake is leading the way in Louisiana to save lives through organ donation. There are more than 120,000 people across the country on the waiting list for a life-saving organ transplant. Of those, more than 2,000 are in Louisiana.

Together, Our Lady of the Lake, LOPA and DLA are committed to providing continued support to families after a loved one becomes an organ donor. We also work to help those patients awaiting a life-saving transplant. Visit lopa.org to learn more about the organ donation process or to register to be an organ, tissue and eye donor.

The Silent Heroes Wall at Our Lady of the Lake

Our donor recognition wall is called the Silent Heroes Wall and it is one of the ways we honor our silent heroes. It is located on the first floor of the regional medical center across from Elevator E and is accessible 24 hours a day. The Silent Heroes Wall is updated every April, donation awareness month.

Our Lady of the Lake, LOPA and DLA strive to honor those who give the gift of life. If you can’t visit our Silent Heroes Wall, we encourage you to learn more about our silent heroes here. On this organ donor recognition page, you will have an opportunity to learn about lives saved through donation and those awaiting a life-saving transplant
