Donor Alliance in the News
As the organ procurement organization serving Colorado and most of Wyoming, Donor Alliance facilitates the donation and recovery of organs and tissue for people needing transplantation.
Donor Alliance is also committed to educating the public about the current lack of organ and tissue donors and the tremendous need for people across Colorado and Wyoming to say “yes” to donation.
Because of our commitment to education and our role in the organ and tissue donation process, Donor Alliance proactively works with local and regional media to increase our presence in the public arena. Whether it is a feature story from a donor family or a medical article about one of our processes, we feel it is important to continually strive to increase understanding about our very important work.
