In April we recognize National Donate Life Month. Every nine minutes someone joins the national transplant waiting list in the United States. Unfortunately, every day we lose 17 people on that list as they pass away waiting for an organ. It’s truly a sad statistic, but there is hope, thanks to organ donors.
Living donation is a transplant option that can reduce wait times on the transplant waiting list and save lives with those who are in end-stage liver or kidney failure.

We are thrilled to announce the recipient of our 2024 Award for Commitment and Excellence in Service (ACES). This prestigious award honors staff who exemplify our five core values, which are the foundation of everything we do.
Congratulations to Tracy Dee, Communications Supervisor for STAT-MD! Tracy received heartfelt nominations from two of her employees, highlighting her exceptional dedication and service. The award was presented to Tracy on Friday, February 28th, while she was impressively multitasking—working a vacant Medical Coordinator shift and training two new medical coordinators.
