LifeCenter Mission and 40th Anniversary
LifeCenter is celebrating 40 years of saving, changing and enhancing lives through organ, eye and tissue donation. Since 1981, we have worked closely with local hospitals to facilitate the recovery of organ and tissue donations, which has saved and healed countless lives in our community. We also continue to work hard to ensure our community is educated on the importance of registering to be an organ, eye and tissue donor.
It only takes one YES to save up to 8 lives, and numerous more through tissue donation.
Please register to become an organ, eye and tissue donor today and help us celebrate 40 years of saving and changing lives, right here in our community.

The Legacy Award will be presented to a Donor Family who has made a significant contribution to furthering LifeCenter’s mission and vision in honor of their loved one.
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.
