Southern Legacy of Life is a nonprofit organization in the hospitals and health care sector that restores lives through organ and tissue recovery. Based in Little Rock, Arkansas, it traces its origins to 1987 when it was founded as the Arkansas Regional Organ Recovery Agency (ARORA) under the National Organ Transplant Act, and it adopted its current name in 2025. The organization serves 64 counties in Arkansas, representing nearly 3 million people. Operating as a regional organ and tissue recovery entity, it collaborates with medical centers and related nonprofits to facilitate donation and transplantation services. A notable recent development is Baxter Regional Medical Center's May 2025 partnership with the organization to expand the life-saving benefits of organ donation. The organization has also advanced donor registration by launching statewide kiosks in 2022.
