Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Hospital services: the hospital services department is committed to maximizing organ and tissue donation by building successful relationships with key staff members of 270 donor hospitals located throughout the lifesource region. Lifesource hospital liaisons are strategically located in minneapolis, mn; saint paul, mn; rochester, mn; sioux falls, sd; duluth, mn; fargo, nd; bismarck, nd and rapid city, sd. The goals of this department include maintaining strong working relationships with hospital staff, providing education to clinicians, assisting hospital staff in complying with federal standards and on-site support during donation cases.

Activity 3

Public education: lifesource maintains a strong commitment to public education activities designed to increase awareness and understanding about the need for organ and tissue donation in the lifesource region. These activities are focused on developing external relationships for the purpose of building support for donation and positioning lifesource as the donation expert in the region. This work is critical as the growing need for organs and tissues will not be met without increased public support and individuals who designate themselves as donors through the state driver's license bureau or online state donor registry. In 2011 355 volunteers supported the lifesource mission through high school and community education. The public affairs department also worked to increase donation through media campaigns, community outreach initiatives, government relations and donor family services.
