This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. For almost four decades, DonorConnect has been dedicated to connecting donors with recipients by facilitating, coordinating, and passionately advocating for donors and their families. Director of Public Education and Public Relations, Mark Dixon, joins us with more.
Mark Dixon:
DonorConnect is the federally designated nonprofit that helps make miracles possible through organ, tissue, and eye donation across Utah, southeast Idaho, and parts of Wyoming and Nevada. Every day, our dedicated teams work alongside donor families, hospitals, and transplant centers to turn the generosity of donors into the gift of life. To expand this lifesaving mission, we recently launched the DonorConnect Foundation.
The Foundation raises awareness, supports grieving families, engages communities, and funds essential outreach and education — helping more people say “yes” to donation.
As one of the nation’s top-performing organ procurement organizations, DonorConnect will soon break ground on a state-of-the-art facility in Murray. This inspiring new space, including a community center, will enhance our ability to honor donors, comfort families, and give hope to those waiting for a second chance at life.
At DonorConnect, we believe every gift matters — and every life saved is a miracle.
Derek Miller:
DonorConnect continues growing its reach across Utah, increasing opportunities for organ and tissue donation and helping more residents receive life-saving transplants. Learn more at donorconnect.life. I’m Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
