 As part of the CMS (formerly HCFA) regulations that became effective on August 21, 1998, all requests for organ and tissue donation must be made by an OPO-trained requestor. MTS provides our own family support services staff members for organ donation requests. However, hospital staff, such as nurses, social workers, and pastoral care staff members, that may find themselves in a position to request for tissue donation, must be trained to do so. MTS frequently conducts our requestor training workshop, The Caring Question. For a list of workshop dates, please click here for a downloadable copy. If you would like to register for a workshop, please contact Julie Walton at the St. Louis MTS Office at (314) 735-8303. |
