Through the incredible generosity of donor heroes and their families, the gift of life continues in our communities. In August, 126 lifesaving gifts from 41 donor heroes were given to people waiting for an organ transplant. We are grateful to the donors and families who said “yes” to donation, and to our hospital partners and MTN staff who are dedicated to the mission of saving and enhancing lives. #GiveHopeShareLife

August marks National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month, and at Midwest Transplant Network, we’re proud to highlight the stories of those who make a difference every day. Meet Ashley Woodin, a Laboratory Support Coordinator who joined MTN in 2016.

As a Black woman in healthcare, she’s passionate about breaking down barriers and encouraging more diverse participation in organ donation. Ashley’s perspective on the critical need for organ donations, the ethical challenges involved, and the deep emotional impact on families and healthcare professionals alike makes her a vital voice in our mission to save lives. #NMDAM #GiveHopeShareLife
