Feds Shut Down Organ Network Over Safety Failures | Salt Lake City News
Description
Federal regulators just shut down Network for Hope, a major organ transplant network, after uncovering systemic failures that endangered patients. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called it a “bad apple” and cited repeated lapses in clinical judgment and oversight — including placing ineligible patients on donation lists and ignoring clear red flags. The decertification affects Kentucky and parts of Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia, where nearly 30% of reviewed cases showed serious flaws. With over 100,000 Americans waiting for life-saving transplants, the move underscores a renewed commitment to safety, ethics, and public trust in the organ donation system — even if it means making tough, necessary calls.
