shaping the future

Honoring the Past

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”

The above quote has been attributed to both

Abraham Lincoln, the father of our country,

and Peter Drucker, an American management

expert. Both men were leaders with a drive for

excellence and a bold vision for the future. It is a

most fitting statement for our organization as we

look back on 2008 – a year of purposeful planning

and dedication to improvement.

In 2008 we launched our Communication Center,

realizing our vision to streamline interactions

and provide enhanced customer service by

bringing this important function in-house. We

also began a multi-year initiative to engage our

customers in constructive feedback to ensure we

are meeting their needs in the best possible way,

and strengthened the organization’s governance

by welcoming six new members to our Board of

Directors. Our work in the public continues to

increase support for donation and has resulted in

more people than ever before registering as organ

and tissue donors. We are shaping a future where

deaths on the transplant waiting list will be no

more.

As we plan for the future we also honor the past.

2009 marks the 20th anniversary of LifeSource. Our

journey spans two decades and has set the stage for

the amazing work we are accomplishing – more

than 2.8 million registered donors in the Upper

Midwest and more than 75% of people or their families

saying ‘yes’ to organ donation in the hospital.

Our vision is – and always has been – that life is a gift

to share. We look forward to the day when everyone

registers their donation decision during their lifetime,

allowing our role as stewards to simply be fulfilling

those generous wishes to help end deaths on the

transplant waiting list. With your partnership we are

creating a community where this vision will become

reality.

LifeSource Launches new Communication Center

In May LifeSource’s new in-house Communication Center

opened, serving as the region’s triage center for organ,

tissue and eye donation referrals. Previously managed by

an outside agency, the new Communication Center allows

LifeSource to provide a higher level of customer service to

hospitals, families and staff by streamlining operations.

The Communication Center is expected to receive

approximately 20,000 new referrals per year from regional

hospitals, coroners, and medical centers and is the vital first

link in providing the bridge between the loss of life and the

gift of life. Because only a small percentage of referrals

are for individuals who have the potential to be donors,

LifeSource and its partners have strong and consistent

processes in place to ensure that all opportunities for

donation are fully evaluated.

In addition to working with medical professionals to begin

the donation process, LifeSource Communication Specialists

also support families and offer the opportunity for tissue and

eye donation. “There is something special about people from

our region connecting with families in our communities,”

says Julie Zabloski, Communication Center Manager. “This

connection is resulting in more families saying ‘yes’ to tissue

donation.”

The Collaboratives:Working Together to save L ives

Since 2003 LifeSource has participated in national initiatives aimed at dramatically increasing the

number of organs donated and transplanted in the United States. These Breakthrough Collaboratives have shown great success, with groundbreaking increases in the number of lives saved through donation. Organ procurement organizations, hospitals and transplant centers have all played a part in achieving these amazing results.

Each year, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) presents a Medal of Honor to hospitals that achieve a life-saving organ donation rate of 75% or more for a sustained 12-month period. This prestigious award was bestowed upon 11 of LifeSource’s hospital partners in 2008, with

four hospitals receiving the award for the fourth year in a row.

Cheryl Anderson is the Manager, Critical Care Services, at MeritCare Hospital in Fargo, ND. Cheryl states, “We are committed to saving lives through donation and transplantation and are proud of our partnership with LifeSource. Donation at MeritCare is seen as a natural step in the end of life process and is embraced as part of our culture and mission.”

In 2008 LifeSource also continued its participation in this national initiative through the Transplant Management and Growth Collaborative, aimed at saving and enhancing thousands of lives each year by working with transplant centers to maximize the number of organs transplanted. Five transplant centers in the Upper Midwest have joined LifeSource on this journey of improvement, including University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview; Mayo Clinic; MeritCare; Avera McKennan; and Medcenter One.

Renew and Reinvent for Results

LifeSource embarked on a detailed exploration of customer

feedback in 2008 through a long-term initiative aimed at creating

more value for customers and infusing quality into work processes

and interactions. The Renew and Reinvent for Results initiative engaged

50 hospital customers and more than 40 LifeSource staff in a process

to solicit feedback and better understand how expectations are being

met. Based on feedback from the first phase, LifeSource is collaborating

with its partners to strengthen processes and identify opportunities for

improvement.

“This is a significant and exciting opportunity for LifeSource to design

and implement changes to the way we do our work based on feedback

from our customers,” says Brenda Welsch, Director of Quality and

Regulatory Affairs. “From the first referral call to the recovery of organs

and tissues, we are creating efficiencies, improving outcomes, and

increasing satisfaction for those who work so closely with us in our life-

saving mission.”

Medical Examiner Partnerships increase Donation opportunities

Medical examiners

and coroners

are vital partners in the

life-saving mission of

donation. A commitment

to zero denials on the part

of medical examiners and

coroners means that more

people have the opportunity

to save and heal lives

through organ and tissue

donation.

LifeSource has also been collaborating with regional

medical examiners and coroners to offer the

opportunity of donation to families served by these

offices. Unlike hospitals, medical examiners and

coroners are not required to refer potential donors

to their local donation agency. Through LifeSource's

Medical Examiner Advisory Committee and post-

donation follow-up, LifeSource has improved tissue

donation processes to ensure that medical examiners

and coroners have well-documented tools that help

them in their role of determining cause of death

and protecting public health and consumer safety. In

2008, referrals from medical examiners and coroners

increased by 39 percent.

One hundred fifty referrals came from the

Ramsey County Medical Examiner office last year,

representing a 44% increase. “It has been an honor

to work with Dr. McGee and the dedicated team at

RCME. They are strong advocates for donation and

we are grateful for their partnership and support,”

said Mike Burakowski, Medical Examiner/Funeral

Director Liaison. In recognition of RCME’s

commitment to donation, LifeSource presented Dr.

Michael McGee with an award (pictured left).

Medical Examiner Partnerships increase Donation opportunities

LifeSource Welcomes new Board of Directors

In July, LifeSource welcomed six new members

to its Board of Directors to help govern the

organization’s life-saving business. The Board of

Directors is comprised of fourteen Directors and

includes hospital and transplant representatives;

community members; transplant recipients;

transplant recipient family members; and donor

family members. “We are thrilled to have such a

dedicated group of leaders join us on this journey of

persistent and continual improvement,” says Susan

Gunderson, Chief Executive Officer.

The new members of the Board include Brock

Nelson, President and CEO, Regions Hospital;

Keith Fahnhorst, Transplant Recipient and Sr.

Vice-President-Investments, UBS Financial; Scott

Anderson, Chairman, Mirabelle Management;

Judge Gail Hagerty, Presiding District Judge,

North Dakota Judicial System; Brandyn Herbold,

Transplant Recipient; and Bruce King, Transplant

Recipient and Assistant to the President for

Institutional Diversity, St. Olaf College.

1989

LifeSource hires its first employee, Susan Gunderson, and is granted full membership in the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) as an organ procurement organization.

1990 LifeSource coordinators work with the families of 109 organ donors.

1992 LifeSource averages four lives saved per organ donor, the highest rate in the country.

1993 LifeSource begins its Donor Family Services program to provide ongoing grief support to donor families.

1999 LifeSource expands donation options for the families it serves, offering the opportunity to donate tissue. During the first year of the tissue recovery program, LifeSource worked with the families of 27 generous tissue donors.

1989-2009

honoring 20 years

“It’s been more than twenty years, and I’m doing really well,” Marisa begins with a smile. “My transplant gave me a life I might not otherwise have.”

That life includes working full-time, attending school, coaching a Special Olympics team, mentoring children awaiting a liver transplant, competing in a combined 12 US and World Transplant Games since 1996, and recently purchasing her first home. Meeting Marisa today, you’d be hard-pressed to see any effects of the liver disease that plagued her as a child.

Marisa was born with a rare condition called biliary atresia which eventually caused her to have liver failure. A diagnosis at just a few months old prompted her first surgery to try and control the progressive disease. Nearly a decade

12

later, after one of the first successful pediatric liver transplants was performed at the University of Minnesota, transplantation proved to be a viable option for Marisa.

Marisa was about ten years old at the time, and the side effects from her previous surgery were starting to weigh on her. Her abdomen was uncomfortable and protruded due to an enlarged spleen, and she couldn’t play contact sports. “It was hard to sit and watch, when I really wanted to play,” she says.

Waiting for a liver transplant at such a young age was difficult, although she admits that the wait was probably harder on her parents. “I wasn’t really scared at first,” shares Marisa. “Then one day I looked at my mom with tears in my eyes and said, ‘I’m going to die.’ That’s when I realized how serious it was.”

In 1988, Marisa received the gift of a liver transplant from a seven year-old boy named Jeremiah. Nine years later, Marisa met her donor’s family and has stayed in touch. She hopes that one day they’ll be able to see her compete in her favorite Transplant Games sport – swimming. “That would be really cool.”

2002 Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota pass legislation allowing a person’s lifetime decision to be a donor to be honored.

2003 LifeSource joins the Organ Donation Breakthrough Collaborative, a national initiative aimed at ending deaths on the transplant waiting list.

2008 LifeSource honors the donation wishes of a record 654 tissue donors, and more than 2.8 million people in the Upper Midwest are registered organ and tissue donors.

2009 Since its inception, LifeSource has worked with the families of more than 4,900 generous donors, providing more than 10,000 organs for transplant and more than 100,000 tissue grafts for those in need.

“Organ donation has given me life.”

Sharing the Message in the Digital Age

More and more people are turning to the internet

as a way to connect with one another. Social

media, like Facebook and blogs, continue to gain ground

as a tool for connecting people with a shared purpose.

Organ and tissue donation is perfectly suited to this

medium, as it brings together powerful stories of hope,

love and life.

In August, LifeSource launched its new public education

blog, The Source (http://donatelife.wordpress.com).

Filling the virtual pages with information about donation,

interactions at public events and messages from donor

families and recipients, The Source is proving to be a

wonderful vehicle for connecting with the public and

increasing support for donation.

Later in the year, LifeSource built on the success of

The Source by launching MyDonationResource.org,

a site with information and education for healthcare

professionals and funeral directors. “Healthcare and

funeral professionals are instrumental in supporting

patients and families through end of life experiences,”

said Kathy Hicks, Education Coordinator. “Our hope is

that this site will provide resources to assist professionals

in helping us make donation opportunities a reality for

grieving families.”

South Dakota Governor Recognizes Donor Famil ies

In May, Governor Michael Rounds and his wife, First Lady Jean Rounds,

honored the families of organ and tissue donors in a special recognition

ceremony in Pierre, South Dakota. Governor Rounds called each of the

families who were present onstage to personally thank them for their

generosity and compassion and present them with a donor medal of honor.

Pictured are donor parents Charles and Marilyn Bruner with the governor and

first lady. Nearly 90 people were present, representing generous individuals

from around the state who extended the gift of life through organ and tissue

donation.

“It was a powerful event,” said John LeMay, Family Services Coordinator.

“Donor families truly connected, sharing tears and laughter, gaining strength

from one another as they were recognized by the highest office in the state for

the generosity of their loved ones.”

Donor Families and recip ients Connect at P icnics

In 2008 LifeSource hosted its first donor

family and transplant recipient picnics in

Duluth, Minnesota and Sioux Falls, South

Dakota. The picnics were an opportunity for

donor families and transplant recipients to share

their experiences and learn from one another.

More than 280 people attended the two picnics

and a local television station and a newspaper in

Duluth covered the inspiring event, sharing the

story of one donor mom who attended with her

son's heart recipient.

"Having never held such an event before, we

were pleasantly surprised to gather with so many

people who have been impacted by donation and

transplantation," said Jill Halimi, Family Services

Coordinator. In 2009, LifeSource is planning

picnics in Fargo, North Dakota; Rapid City,

South Dakota; and the Twin Cities metro area.

The Impact of Media

Donor mom Beth Sandstrom's sixteen year-old son,

Mark, died in April of 2003. Upon his death,

Mark gave the gift of life to four grateful recipients,

including Vern Iverson. Vern received the gift of Mark’s

heart. "We thought it was something that Mark would

want us to do," said Beth. "He was such a giving person."

Beth and Vern met one another in 2008, first during the

summer and then again at LifeSource’s donor family and

transplant recipient picnic in Duluth (pictured at right).

Their story was covered by a local television station and

newspaper.

Shortly after the stories about the picnic were published,

one of LifeSource’s Family Services Coordinators, Jill

Halimi, received a call from a kidney transplant recipient

named Susan who lives in California and received her

gift of life in 1988. Susan’s cousin, who lives in the

Duluth area, had read the article about Vern and Beth and

forwarded it to her. Susan was deeply touched by the

article and went on to share that she had never reached

out to her donor’s family

in the 20 years since her

transplant. She had been

told that her donor was

a 10 year-old little boy

and had felt great guilt

about this. Receiving

the article about Vern

and Beth prompted her

to contact LifeSource

to learn how she could

write to her donor

family.

The recipient and donor

family wrote to one another through LifeSource and shortly

thereafter decided to have direct contact with one another.

The two families have exchanged photos, letters and have

spoken on the phone. "This is a wonderful outcome to an

already magnificent event," shared Jill.

Barbershop Conversations: Clean Cut and To the Point

There is an important need to increase the

number of African-American men who

are organ donors. Unfortunately they have

a low likelihood of being registered donors

while experiencing high rates of diabetes, high

blood pressure, stress and obesity – conditions

which may lead to needing a kidney transplant.

The result is a disparity between the number

of African-American men who need a

transplant and the number who donate.

To address this disparity, LifeSource is once

again partnering with Q Health Connections

(formerly Southside Community Outreach) to

share the life-saving message of donation with

the Twin Cities African American community.

Barbershop Conversations is a community-based

education program with African-American

barbers serving as trusted messengers,

engaging clients in a dialogue about health

and wellness. The program seeks to promote

health and increase organ donation in the

African-American community.

"Barbers are trusted opinion leaders who

have a high degree of credibility, respect, and

influence in the community," says Clarence

Jones, Community Outreach Director at Q

Health Connections. "Barbers are therefore in

a unique position to improve the health of their

community by providing education directly to

clients."

Barbers throughout the Twin cities have

agreed to participate in the program, have

gone through training to learn about health

issues and donation, and have been trained

on motivational interviewing techniques. The

barbers are now engaged in conversations

with their clients about these important health

issues.

Barbershop Conversations: Clean Cut and To the Point

LifeSource Volunteers in Action

LifeSource volunteers share the life-saving message of donation and

transplantation within their communities and are a vital component

of our public education program. Donor families, recipients and those

waiting for transplant share their powerful and emotional stories, putting

a face on the need for more donors. From health and driver’s education

to community fairs and church groups, more than 500 volunteers work

tirelessly to encourage people in our communities to register as donors.

In 2008, LifeSource volunteers contributed over 1,500 hours.

For six days each August, LifeSource volunteers share the message of

donation with 250,000 fairgoers at the largest fair in South Dakota - the

Sioux Empire Fair in Sioux Falls. Close to 20 volunteers help staff the

LifeSource booth for the 72 hours of the fair, encouraging people to

register as an organ and tissue donor, sharing their personal story and

providing accurate information about donation and transplantation.
