To our OPO community,
As part of our ongoing effort to honor your work and celebrate the experiences that shape this profession, we are proud to continue our Voices of Impact series—a national initiative highlighting the stories of donation professionals whose compassion and dedication make a difference every day.
Our newest Voices of Impact feature introduces Karla Villanueva, whose inspiring journey from paramedic to donation leader is now available for you to read and share: (put pdf here). Her story reflects the profound impact of donation, the importance of building trust with families, and the lasting difference advocates make through every conversation.
We invite you to take a few moments to read Karla’s story, reflect on her experiences, and join us in recognizing the remarkable individuals who support donor families and honor the gift of life with compassion, empathy, and advocacy.
If you would like to be featured in a future Voices of Impact story—or would like to nominate a colleague—we would be honored to hear from you.
Thank you for everything you do to support donor families, honor their loved ones, and help make the gift of life possible.
