Congratulations to Lori Pace, who was appointed to the Missouri Organ Donation Advisory Committee. Through the committee, Lori will help the Missouri Department of Health & Human Services and Department of Elementary and Secondary Education educate the public on the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation and advise on key issues. Lori brings a unique perspective to the committee – not only does she serve as a hospital services and family support specialist for Mid-America Transplant in Springfield, but she is also a donor mom. We’re excited to see Lori honor her son Will’s legacy by shaping donation policies and outreach for our communities. #LiveSavingLifeChangingWork

Thank you to Cox Medical Center South for partnering with us to hold their second blanket-making event. These blankets are placed over donors before they give the Gift of Life, and then the blanket is given to the donor's family. This small but mighty crew of eight nurses made 37 adult and 6 pediatric blankets over four hours. Participants also enjoyed breakfast and a brief presentation emphasizing the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation. Thank you to Lori Pace for her work in organizing this event and for her continuous dedication to our mission. #SayYesGiveLife #HospitalPartners

August is National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month (NMDAM) – a collaborative effort to save & heal lives within diverse communities by creating a positive culture for organ, eye & tissue donation. Why is NMDAM needed? 60% of patients on the national transplant waiting list are from multicultural communities. The need for donation and transplant is more pronounced in multiethnic communities where disproportionately higher rates of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease contribute to organ failure - especially kidney failure. NMDAM is a collaborative effort of the National Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation Multicultural Action Group (NMAG). #DonateLife #NMDAM

Our clinical laboratory plays a critical role in ensuring the health and safety of those who receive the gift of life. Last week, our Director of Laboratory Services, Amber Carriker, collaborated with Dr. Sam Ho from Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network and Selena Warden from Southwest Transplant Alliance to present “The Gift of Life: The Remarkable Role the Clinical Laboratory Plays in Organ Donation" at the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine. Additionally, the laboratory is critical in our ability to steward the gifts of organ and tissue donors. Thank you to Amber and the entire laboratory staff for all you do in advancing our mission and keeping our laboratory at the leading edge of innovation. #Excellence #Innovation #Collaboration #SayYesGiveLife #ADLM2024
