Spotlight
The Organ Donation Coordinator (ODC) supports the mission, goals, and strategic plan of LifeCenter Northwest by evaluating organ donor referrals, conducting medical evaluation on potential organ donors, and developing a plan with the healthcare team to maintain the option of donation.
This role coordinates the recovery and finding recipient matches of organs as part of the donation process, which includes working closely with our Family Services team and our donor families.
The Surgical First Assist (SFA) is accountable for all activities related to the surgical recovery and safe preservation of organs from donors. SFAs wear many different “Scrub Hats” in the delicate process necessary to make the gift of life through organ donation happen.

Employee Spotlight
Miranda
Organ Donation Coordinator
“I absolutely love working with our team of people that share the same passion for helping others. I have never worked with a team of people that care and work as hard as our LifeCenter team.”
Terri
Organ Recovery Coordinator
“Organ donation allows me to continue to care for clinically complicated patients transitioning to comfort care while supporting their families through this process. I take great pride and responsibility in making sure that the end of life is well managed, and every family member is supported. I assist with approaching families with the opportunity to take part in saving lives through organ donation. I collaborate with various health care professionals to optimize organ function in the attempt to help as many transplant recipients as possible—all while coordinating with the transplant recipient team members, the donor hospital and LifeCenter teams up until organ recovery. The work we do at LifeCenter is truly rare and amazing. “I am so thankful to be part of a passionate and dedicated team. I know what I do truly makes a difference and that drives me to not only keep coming back, but to consistently look for ways so that we can help more people.”
Melanie
Organ Recovery Coordinator
Melanie admits she hasn’t quite figured out what “normal” is in her job. “I wake up, drink my coffee, and get myself ready for whatever it is I’m assigned to do. If I’m not assigned anywhere yet, I stalk our database and read through other people’s charting. It helps me to learn and grow in this role. If I’m on case activity, I tend to focus so intently on all the things I need to get done…recently, courage is the value that speaks to me most. When I get thrown a curve ball and have a brief moment of internal panic, I take a deep breath, say those positive affirmations taught in onboarding, then figure out what I have to do to get the job done.” She shares that her favorite moment in the midst of the stress was one day right before going to OR with a donor. “I hugged my donor’s mom and she said to me, ‘We couldn’t have gotten through this without you.’ It was a reminder that while I got into this to help save lives through donation, I was originally inspired by this job because of the support for the family.”
