US Slates PR, Ad Agency Review for Organ Donation Campaigns
By Greg Hazley

The $10B federal agency that oversees the organ transplant and donation system in the US is preparing a review to handle its communications, outreach and marketing assignments.
The Health Resources and Services Administration is the primary entity within the Dept. of Health and Human Services with major responsibility for the federal organ transplant program.
On the PR front, the HRSA implements public education programs to increase the number of organ donors. It is expected to release an RFP on Aug. 5 for work including mass media outreach, community relations and other PR tactics with four key goals: increase donor registrations, raise public awareness of the need for organs, encourage family discussions about organ donation, and improve public trust in the organ transplant system. The system's web portal, organdonor.gov, is a key hub of information.
Crosby Marketing Communications is the incumbent.
The HRSA plans to award a five-year contract.
Unrelated directed kidney donor in 2003, recipient and I both well.
620 time blood and platelet donor since 1976 and still giving!
Elected to the OPTN/UNOS Boards of Directors & Executive, Kidney Transplantation, and Ad Hoc Public Solicitation of Organ Donors Committees, 2005-2011
