Nevada Donor Network (NDN) is proud to announce a partnership with Carson Valley Health (CVH), where it will now serve as the hospital’s designated organ procurement organization (OPO) for all organ, eye and tissue donation. This partnership allows for a more seamless donation process, ensuring Nevada’s rural communities have access to the opportunity to save and heal others through donation.
Building on several established partnerships in Douglas County, Nevada Donor Network’s new alliance with CVH enables both organizations to engage with the community about the life-saving impact of donation.
“We are thrilled to partner with Carson Valley Health to expand our mission of saving lives through organ, eye and tissue donation,” said Heather Osipowicz, Director of Donation Development for Nevada Donor Network. “By working together, we can provide patients and their families more opportunities to give the gift of life, making a profound impact on those in need.”
“As a critical access hospital, Carson Valley Health is dedicated to delivering the highest quality healthcare to Nevada’s rural communities, where access to care can often be limited,” said Heidi Saucedo, marketing manager at Carson Valley Health. “Our partnership with Nevada Donor Network plays a pivotal role in advancing this mission.”
