The donor’s legacy lives on when someone gets a second chance at life. At LifeSource, we are the first responders making organ, eye and tissue donation and transplantation a reality.
We receive the call about a potential donor, meet with grieving families to discuss donation, then transport organ donations to those desperately awaiting the transplant.
The organ donation process has been described as symphony; it takes many people working in concert to make the complex process happen.

At LifeSource, we have a clear purpose – to inspire the public to register and work with all of our partners to support donor families, manage the donation process, transport the gifts to the transplant center and lead our communities towards a culture of donation.
