Page 3: LIFE isn't a matter of MILESTONES, but of MOMENTS

From the CEOLater this year LifeSource will celebrate a milestone in our organization’s journey. We will be breaking ground on the construction of a new facility, a carefully designed space to fulfill our mission and honor the donors and families we are privileged to serve. As LifeSource’s founding CEO, I am humbled to look back on the past twenty-four years and see the incredible progress that has propelled us to this exciting moment.

All journeys are defined by moments — specific points in time that moves us forward, backward or sometimes in a direction we are unable to see or imagine. The families we serve have had their lives devastatingly transformed, and yet they are able to see through their grief and offer a gift of hope to others.

The picture featured here shows a powerful moment that captures the magnitude of our work. The moment of silence is an opportunity to recognize an immeasurable gift one person is giving to another. It’s a chance to ground the medical team in the humanity of donation and transplant. It is the very intersection of science, technology and miracles.

This report is about what lies ahead, and how our journey, these moments we’ve created together, will pave the way. Transplant recipients are given a gift that allows them to write a new chapter in their lives. Likewise, the gift of your support and a new, innovative facility will help us write the next chapter in our story.

I invite you to read the expanded version of this report on our website at www.life-source.org/yearahead. You’ll learn more about our plans for our new facility and read about our third Donate Life Symposium, scheduled for November 7th. You’ll meet our staff that supports donor families and learn how their journey brought them to LifeSource. You’ll read about our efforts to increase physician engagement so we can become more effective partners in donation and transplantation.

On behalf of everyone touched by donation and transplantation, thank you for your tireless support of our mission. With your help we can achieve our vision: Everyone shares the gift of life.

Susan Gunderson Chief Executive Officer

The moment of silence honors the donor and grounds the medical teams in the gifts of donation that are so generously given to others. Just before organ recovery surgery, a LifeSource coordinator gathers the medical team and reads a statement provided by the donor’s family. It is a powerful testament to the donor, the gifts of donation and the stewardship of these gifts that has been entrusted to us.
