About Donate Life Northwest
In 1975, responding to medical advances in transplantation, local healthcare professionals formed Oregon Donor Program by bringing organ, eye, and tissue procurement agencies together to collaboratively the local donor pool. For thirty two years, Oregon Donor Program successfully advocated for improved donation laws, developed educational programs, and conducted awareness campaigns to enlist the help of organizations, clubs, faith groups and businesses.
In 2007, Oregon Donor Program changed its name to Donate Life Northwest, reflecting the organization’s commitment to increase the number of designated organ, eye, and tissue donors in Oregon and SW Washington.
