A federal judge has denied a motion to delay implementation of the Acuity Circle Model, the new liver transplantation allocation policy approved by the Organ Procurement and Transplant Network (OPTN) in December 2018. OPTN launched the new liver distribution system on May 14. CHA has long supported this important policy.
CHA thanks Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-1) who helped lead a bipartisan effort urging its implementation. The list below includes the 38 members of the California congressional delegation — including Rep. LaMalfa — who signed a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Azar in March.
