OurLegacys scope of operations extends to each of the following hospitals within the Advent Hospital system: Altamonte, Apopka, Celebration, Daytona Beach, Deland, East Orlando, Fish Memorial, Kissimmee, New Smyrna Beach, Orlando, Palm Coast, Waterman, and Winter Park. Additionally, CMS has designated OurLegacy to provide organ donation services to all non-AdventHealth acute care and critical access hospitals and free-standing emergency rooms in the following counties: Brevard, Flagler, Indian River, Lake, Okeechobee, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Sumter, and Volusia.

Primary activities and decision-making authority are predominantly performed independent of physician oversight.

- Stays informed about development and introduction of new supplies and materials used in the organ recovery, preservation and transportation process and works with team to make adjustments in accordance with best medical practices.
