In 2025, OneLegacy coordinated organ donation from 748 individuals, an all-time National record. Because of the generosity of these donors and their families, and the support of dedicated medical teams, an organizational record of 1,949 lifesaving organs were transplanted.

The year’s accomplishments included record kidney and liver transplant numbers, 975 kidneys and 467 livers. In 2025, 76% of OneLegacy’s organ recipients identified as racially or ethnically diverse, underscoring the organization’s commitment to equitable care. These milestones are critical as kidney disease remains a leading health concern nationwide and among diverse populations.

Medical innovation also contributed to the year’s success. OneLegacy played a pivotal role in two groundbreaking achievements: the first-ever bladder transplant in partnership with Keck Medicine of USC and UCLA Health, and OneLegacy’s first pediatric partial heart transplant in partnership with Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. These advancements not only saved lives but also opened doors for patients who previously had few options.

In 2025, OneLegacy fulfilled the wishes of 2,335 tissue donors, who saved and healed over 135,000 lives. OneLegacy also helped restore sight to 1,585 recipients, through cornea transplants, an increase of more than 10% from 2024.

This year reflected the strength of collaboration across donation and transplantation in Southern California. OneLegacy deepened partnerships with more than 200 hospitals and eight transplant centers to continue to ensure every opportunity for donation was honored with care, dignity, and precision.

As OneLegacy looks to the future, the organization remains committed to advancing science, strengthening partnerships, supporting donor families, and expanding the lifesaving impact of organ, eye, and tissue donation.

We’re proud to share that OneLegacy will be participating in the MLK Day Parade, joining our community to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. while spreading awareness about the life-saving power of organ, eye, and tissue donation.

If you cannot make it in person watch the parade live on ABC7. Together, we’re uplifting a message of service, unity, and hope. Giving the gift of life is one of the greatest acts of service.

“I am 63 years old. When I was 60, I had just finished working out and was home with my wife and daughter when my chest started to hurt severely. I told my wife I was having a heart attack, and she said she was calling the paramedics. I laid down on the grass and waited.

They arrived and confirmed I was having a heart attack. I was rushed to the hospital, where they found I had a ‘widow maker’ blockage—100 percent blocked. They put in two stents and a pump. After two weeks in the hospital, they removed the pump and sent me home, saying I would get better in three months.

After three months, my doctor said I needed to go to Cedars-Sinai because my ejection fraction was at 16 percent. There, I had a test every month until May. Then the doctor said I wasn't leaving the hospital until I got a new heart.

On June 16, I received a new heart. They had me walking the next day. By the time I left in July, I was walking two miles a day in the hospital. I was very blessed that my recovery went without any issues.

Since my transplant, I have been able to see two new grandkids, watch my daughter play soccer and coach at a college in Kansas, and see my other daughter play college soccer, win two Mountain West championships, and soon I will go see her play soccer in Portugal.

I volunteer for OneLegacy and talk to high school students about what it takes to become a registered donor. I share this story with the kids: When I was 16, I registered to become a donor. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would need a new heart to live.

Thanks to someone who registered to become a donor, I can enjoy my wife, my five kids and six grandkids, my mom and dad, my siblings, and many friends I have made in my lifetime.”

One selfless ‘YES’ turned heartbreak into hope: Honoring the life and legacy of Grace Edwards, nursing student, loving daughter, sister, friend, and organ donor.

Earlier this week, more than 100 family members, friends, classmates, medical professionals, and OneLegacy staff lined the halls of MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center to honor 19-year-old APU nursing student and organ donor, Grace Edwards. By saying “YES” to organ donation, Grace gave the gift of life to five people on the organ transplant waiting list – including a young boy from California, who received her heart, and four grateful recipients across three states: California, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

This was one of the largest honor walks MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center has ever hosted, and they were profoundly grateful to support the family through this moment alongside OneLegacy. Grace’s legacy will continue shining through the lives of those she saved this week.
