STA is committed to:

  • EDUCATE on the disparities in need, health, and transplants that affect Latino and African American communities.

  • EVALUATE how our organization addresses racial inequalities and biases, both internally and externally, and how we can lead organ and tissue donation toward an equitable future.

  • HONOR the Latino and African American lives in our communities, whose legacies live on through donation and whose lives were saved by the selfless decisions of others.

STA seeks to EMPOWER multicultural communities through information about organ donation and transplantation.
