More Events
Headquartered in downtown Buffalo and established in 1981,
Unyts is among the leading procurement organizations in the United States, and is one of the only eight centers nationwide to house organ, tissue and eye procurement in one location. With the addition of Community Blood Services, Unyts has become the first organization of its kind nationwide. Unyts operates as a non-profit serving the eight counties of Western New York and works to assist donor families, coordinate the donation process and increase knowledge and awareness within the community regarding transplantation.
Unyts routinely has helped to secure higher rates of donation in Western New York than the national average. When approached following the death of a loved-one for organ donation, Western New York families give consent nearly 90% – the national average is roughly 60%. Due to this generosity, Unyts has ranked in the top ten procurement organizations nationwide in terms of rates of consent for seven of the past eight years.
