We’d like to give a special shout out to our friends at Organ Recovery Systems, who not only cooked a meal for our families tonight but also recently supported our Home Cook Heroes Program with a generous pledge of $100,000! Organ Recovery Systems has been a partner in caring for transplant families at the House since 2011, and we could not be more grateful for their support of our mission. “Supporting Gift of Life Howie’s House is a true privilege – their unwavering dedication to caring for transplant patients and their families is nothing short of inspiring, and Organ Recovery Systems is honored to play a small part in their incredible mission. Our team especially loves participating in the Home Cook Heroes Program, where we can offer comfort through meals and contribute to the sense of community and care that Howie’s House provides”, says Kayla Andalina, ORS team member. Thank you to Organ Recovery Systems for more than 13 years of steadfast support for transplant families at the House!

I joined Organ Recovery Systems five years ago as a Clinical and Technical Advisor training clients on our LifePort medical devices. However, I was introduced to LifePort Kidney Transporter and many of my ORS team members in 2011 while working as an Organ Recovery Specialist at Versiti in Wisconsin. It was this hands-on experience with LKT as well as the ORS team’s enthusiasm for it that led me to ORS. My role here is very rewarding. I truly enjoy seeing procurement and transplant teams become comfortable pumping kidneys and livers independently. In my free time, I can be found in the woods, on a lake, or in my workshop restoring old items that some people consider “junk.” Outside of working in the operating room, building furniture and restoring old advertising signs is my passion. Working for ORS enables me to pursue both. I’m proud to work for a company with a great mission, and terrific people, products, and clients.

Last Friday, two of our Clinical and Technical Advisors, Michael and Eric, had a great time training the team at Nevada Donor Network (NDN) on LifePort Kidney Transporter. They also enjoyed attending NDN’s Inspire Hope Gala on Saturday! 💃 Could your team use a LifePort training review? Reach out to your representative today to schedule one!
