The donor’s legacy lives on when someone gets a second chance at life. LifeSource supports families through the organ, eye and tissue donation process and delivers life-saving transplants to the recipients who need them.
As a leading Organ Procurement Organization (OPOs) in the United States, we serve more than seven million people in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin.
The donation process has been described as symphony; it takes many people working in concert to make the complex process happen.
Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) are the vital bridge between donors, their families and potential recipients.
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.

Have you ever wondered how the organ donation process actually works? Checking the box and registering to be a donor is a selfless decision to share the gift of life. However, organ donation is very rare because there are a few key requirements to be eligible as a donor.
A “yes” to donation impacts the Mahoney family in more than one amazing way.
More than 250 Donate Life Ambassadors in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin selflessly share their personal stories about donation and transplant so that people in our communities can make a decision about registering to be a donor.
Thousands of men, women, and children in the United States are waiting for life-saving organ transplants. Together with our partners, donor families, and the community we work towards one goal – that no one dies waiting.
We sat down with Hospital Liaison, Emily Larimer to learn more about her experience as a soldier, Registered Nurse, donor mother and now a partner with the VA in her role at LifeSource. Her work has been a benefit to Veterans in western South Dakota and to donation and transplantation overall.
