United Network for Organ Sharing  

Definition

  • The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a private nonprofit organization that operates the nation's organ distribution system, under contract to the health and human services department (HHS). In 1998 UNOS and HHS got into a heated dispute over proposed new HHS rules that would have required that organs be distributed nationally, not regionally.
