Karla Nygren

Inspired by the gift of life. 

Having worked as an emergency/critical care nurse for several years, I have cared for many recipients as well as donor patients. I know both family and friends who are fortunate recipients of organ, tissue and eye transplants. 

In my role, I work with area hospital professionals to facilitate and grow this amazing mission. We offer hope and healing through organ, tissue and eye donation. 

Prior to joining the LifeSource team, I worked at a major healthcare center as an emergency/critical care nurse and patient care supervisor. These roles gave me the honor of a rare glimpse into the lives of the recipients, donor patients and families. 

I work to help facilitate donation. When someone designates themselves a donor, that last act of giving deserves to be honored in the best way possible.
