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.

The Surgical Services Coordinator (SSC) supports the mission, goals, and strategic plan of OurLegacy by overseeing all deceased donor organ perfusion and preservation processes and is responsible for the intraoperative leadership of a team of clinical professionals while managing the recovery and preservation of all solid organs.

Innovative problem solving must happen in a rapid and decisive manner to lessen the potential for adverse implications that could negate the ability to transplant one or more organs from a deceased donor.

The SSC is expected to identify issues that arise in the organ recovery process, to analyze, compare and evaluate various courses of action to address those issue and to exercise judgment and authority to make independent decisions, free from immediate direction but within the scope of their responsibilities. Primary activities and decision-making authority are predominantly performed independent of physician oversight.
