Featured Career Opportunities:

Surgical Recovery Coordinator

Our Surgical Recovery Coordinators (SRC) collaborate with external and internal partners during organ and tissue recovery procedures and facilitate the coordination of recovery events by providing organ preservation, packaging and delivery services. Surgical Recovery Coordinators will travel to different operating rooms to facilitate organ donation opportunities.  This includes packing for the case (labels, ice flush, kidney boxes, liver kits, saline for hearts, research boxes, etc.), huddling with hospital staff, leading the moment of silence, honor walk, and supporting techs throughout the case including cross-clamping, flushing organs, biopsies, providing and placing cannulas for kidneys.  This is a great opportunity to utilize your Surg Tech or Surgical Assist skills to help advance our mission to save and heal lives through advocacy and excellence in organ, tissue, and eye donation!
