MEDIA MATTERS

UNOS AGAIN APPEARS IN RICHMOND MAGAZINEOn July 29, Richmond Magazineincluded an eight-page insert on

UNOS, its mission and its accomplishments. The feature story

was on Virginia First Lady Maureen McDonnell and her sister,

Ellen Gardner, who had a successful double-lung transplantearlier this year.

My family is now part of the UNOS family, Mrs. McDonnell

said. The story highlights the miracle of transplantation. Before

her transplant, Ellen, diagnosed with sarcoidosis in 1997,

could barely breathe, and her weight was under 100 pounds.

Six months later, she was healthy enough to participate in

UNOS rededication of the National Donor Memorial at UNOS

headquarters (see July-August Update,p. 19).

The insert also included a description of UNOS, a message

from executive director Walter Graham,a calendar of upcomingevents and lots of colorful photos. Also included was an appeal

for readers to register on Virginias online donor registry.

Richmond Magazine,a four-color glossy magazine publishedfor 30 years, reaches 200,000 across the state. Though the

contents are focused on the larger Central Virginia region, the

magazine has a statewide reach and is available at more than

1,200 newsstands across Virginia.

The magazine also has a vibrant online presence,

richmondmagazine.com;visitors to the site in September and

October saw on the home page an ad promoting The Gallery

at UNOS(see p. 17).

coded, organ-specific labels were designed to help reduce or

labeling errors. The committee also created a label for vessel

Although the committees Live Meeting training sessions
