The US Department of Health and Human Services is initiating the process to decertify the Kentucky-based organ procurement organization, Network for Hope (NFH). This action follows a 2021 incident where the organization was accused of attempting to harvest organs from a living man. The decertification would effectively close NFH, which operates in Kentucky and parts of Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia. In response, NFH stated that it 'strongly disagrees' with the findings and plans to appeal the decision.
