125 Lives

Each year, donated organs, like hearts and kidneys, save thousands of lives, but did you know that donated tissue like skin, bone and heart valves can dramatically improve the quality of life for others? More than 1.75 million tissue transplants are performed each year giving hope for a restored life.

We each carry within us gifts enough to give life and hope to as many as 125 other people. Through tissue donation and Community Tissue Services, one life given makes renewed life possible for dozens nationwide and internationally. In the restored lives of these grateful recipients, the life and memory of donors live on.

Community Tissue Services is an industry leader in tissue graft development and biotechnology. It is one of the largest providers of tissue grafts in the country and the largest not-for-profit provider of skin grafts for burn patients.
