The Alabama Organ Center is located at 502 20th Street South on the ground floor of the Faculty Office Tower.

The organ center, a component of the University of Alabama Health Services Foundation, provides kidneys, hearts, lungs, livers, pancreases and other tissues to UAB Hospital's transplant program and for other surgeries statewide.

The organ center is the only federally designated Organ Procurement Organization for Alabama, coordinating the equitable use of organs and tissues for life-saving transplants and medical research.
