A Kentucky organization that manages organ donations is facing shutdown due to safety concerns. The US Health and Human Services Secretary has announced the move, citing the organization's history of putting patients at risk. The organization in question, Network for Hope, is based in Louisville and has been under federal scrutiny for over a year.

This scrutiny began after a whistleblower reported a case where staff attempted to harvest a man's organs before he was deceased. Further details on the shutdown and the organization's plans to appeal are available from NewsChannel 5 WTVF.
