Important COVID-19 Update
We will navigate this challenging time together. As an organization we remain vigilant and continue to do everything we can to prioritize safety and protect those most vulnerable to this pandemic. We also thank everyone who continues to work to keep our community safe and functioning. This includes: healthcare workers, police and fire, postal workers, food service workers and all of the heroes who are essential in keeping us safe. The words THANK YOU do not begin to express the gratitude and appreciation for each of you.

The Samantha Jameson Vision Award will be presented to a LifeCenter staff member, who, like Sam, passionately advocates for the Gift of Life. The award is given to the staff member who has gone above and beyond to honor the selfless act of organ, eye and tissue donation. We were blessed to work with Samantha because she never took a single moment of life for granted, and the staff member presented with this award shares that passion for life.
