LifeLink was proud to join Donate Life Florida at the annual Florida HOSA State Leadership Conference in Orlando! 💚 Students, teachers, advisors and parents stopped by to learn more about organ, eye and tissue donation through meaningful conversations and our interactive spin wheel activity. Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in our “Leaf (Leave) a Legacy” board by writing messages of hope, encouragement and gratitude for donor families, transplant recipients, and healthcare professionals.

India Rosario, Donation Coordinator, is celebrating her 5-year anniversary with LifeLink Tissue Bank this month. Congratulations India! 🎉

🏇 Derby hats, bowties and so much heart! 💙 We had a blast at the 5th Annual Tampa Derby Day Party with the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated Tampa Alumni! As the Simulator Sponsor, we loved being part of the energy in the room. From the photo booth to the outreach table, we loved chatting with everyone about how one "yes" to organ and tissue donation can change everything.

How does the LifeLink Tissue Bank celebrate Nurses’ Week? By visiting nurses at each of its partnering facilities, of course! Our Birth Tissue Team provided snack carts and swag for nursing teams supporting its birth tissue donation program. Visits were made to Tampa General Hospital, AdventHealth West Florida and HCA Florida Healthcare hospitals. #HappyNursesWeek #NurseAppreciation #LifeLinkFL #DonateLife

The Public Relations Society of America's Tampa Bay Chapter held its April meeting at LifeLink Foundation.

Chapter members also took a tour of the LifeLink Foundation and got to see why we embrace the mission of life-saving work.
