We're excited to announce a new partnership between Saving Sight and Arkansas Regional Organ Recovery Agency (ARORA) to expand eye donation and transplantation services in Arkansas. As of October 7, 2024, this partnership will maximize the gift of sight through eye donation for individuals across Arkansas communities. Together, we're working to be good stewards of the gift of sight, and we look forward to changing even more lives by saving sight!

She pushes for better outcomes, always encouraging us to be better—not just in our jobs, but as people.” Her leadership style, combined with a foundation of trust, has helped shape the department. As Nicole shared, “Jenna guides instead of controls. I constantly hear her voice when making decisions.” Griffin echoed this, reflecting on her passion for our mission. “Her resilience and energy are inspiring. She encourages us to be self-starters, and I’ll always be grateful for the trust and support she has given us.” Thank you, Jenna, for your dedication and for shaping the culture of leadership, trust, and growth here at Saving Sight.
