Our team had a busy—and a meaningful couple of weeks spreading awareness about the importance of organ, eye, and tissue in partnerships with On Track OHSU! On Track, collaborates with Oregons middle and high schools with a core mission of increasing the number of underrepresented minority students in scientific research, biomedical workforce, and medical careers🧬🧪🏥🩺

Claire and Irvin were invited to Madras High School to connect with students and share how donation can save and heal lives. During their trip, they also stopped by the Madras DMV to recognize and thank their amazing team for helping support donation registration rates! 🚗

The following week, Irvin and Carolyn traveled to Woodburn High School to continue educating students about the life-saving impact of organ, eye and tissue donation and the power of saying “yes” to donation. 🏫❤️

On , we honor the individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Corporal Benjamin S. Kopp, a member of the 75th Army Ranger Regiment, saved six of his comrades when his unit came under attack in Afghanistan. He was mortally wounded and saved four more lives back in the United States through his selfless gift of organ donation. To honor Corporal Kopp and all other brave soldiers who became organ, eye and tissue donors, the Fallen Soldier statue stands at the National Donor Memorial and honors members of our military who made organ, eye, and tissue donation their last courageous act of service. The site is a place of peace for all who wish to honor the gift of life! 💙💚

“This beautiful woman is my mother. She received a single lung transplant and survived for nearly 16 years after. What a 16 years it was ❤️ I was only 9 when I was told that if my mum didn’t get a new lung then she would have to go up into the sky and that age I didn’t fully understand. I was 10 when she was transplanted and she got to see me grow up. We were never apart, she lived with me and my partner right up until the end. We travelled the world together, she watched me get ready for my prom, she hugged me when I got my first job, she even got to see me fall in love and get engaged and she even felt my baby kick. Sadly she passed away while I was 32 weeks pregnant in December 2018. She passed peacefully in my arms. Organ donation gave me and my family the chance of a normal life for so long. My story may seem sad but it’s one of hope for all those on the list miracles do happen! I am so so grateful for the person who donated and gave us 16 beautiful years. I am the mother I am today because of those 16 years I got with her ❤️” bit.ly/2Es2Zxa Via NHS Organ Donation

Happy, happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful mom’s out there! We want to honor the strength and compassion of every mother who’s life has been touched by organ donation 🫶 Registering to be a donor has allowed mom’s everywhere to continue their journey’s through life, creating countless memories.

Dr. Hyung Mo “H.M.” Lee (1926–2013) was a trailblazer in organ transplantation whose work helped change the future of modern medicine. 🩺 Raised in North Korea and later escaping to South Korea, Dr. Lee earned his medical degree from Seoul National University in 1949 before coming to the United States to continue his training. 📚🥼

In the 1950s, he joined the Medical College of Virginia (now VCU School of Medicine), becoming part of one of only four transplant programs in the world at the time. Over the years, Dr. Lee helped shape how kidney transplantation is practiced worldwide. He was a charter member and the 11th president of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, played an important role in advancing the National Organ Transplant Act, and helped lay the foundation for what would become the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).

Dr. Lee retired in 1997 as Chairman of the Division of Vascular and Transplant Surgery at MCV, but his curiosity and drive never slowed down. After retirement, he earned a law degree and continued exploring new academic interests. 👨‍⚖️ Remembered as a gifted surgeon, thoughtful leader, and generous mentor, Dr. Lee’s legacy continues to save lives and inspire generations. 💙
