Vicky Hsu was recently promoted to a Tissue Operations Clinical Trainer after being with NEDS for 2 1/2 years. She started as a Tissue Donation Coordinator and did not come from a typical tissue background. Vicky’s prior experience was at a cancer infusion center and she applied to NEDS because she still wanted to interact and empathize with families at an organization with a mission.

Vicky is enjoying her job at NEDS, “No day is the same, I am continuously learning. I am grateful for my team and the camaraderie we have. Everyone is supportive of each other, and the donor and recipient families we work with. I am grateful and excited that NEDS provided me with an opportunity of growth in this new role”

Thank you, Vicky, for all that you do here at NEDS! #MeaningfulWork

On #MemorialDay, we honor the individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Corporal Benjamin S. Kopp, a member of the 75th Army Ranger Regiment, saved six of his comrades when his unit came under attack in Afghanistan. He was mortally wounded and saved four more lives back in the United States through his selfless gift of organ donation. To honor Corporal Kopp and all other brave soldiers who became organ, eye, and tissue donors, the Fallen Soldier statue stands at the National Donor Memorial at United Network for Organ Sharing and honors members of our military who made organ, eye, and tissue donation their last courageous act of service. The site is a place of peace for all who wish to honor the gift of life! 💙💚 #DonateLife

As a grateful liver recipient, Kevin Prue is participating in NEDS 2nd Annual Golf Tournament this year to raise awareness about the power of organ donation.

Kevin Prue is a husband, father, and professional who has always worked hard to provide for his family. “I have always loved spending time with family and friends regardless of the location; be it at the beach, a barbecue, a sporting event, a work-related event, or at home relaxing, building a puzzle, or playing a board game. People are my passion. Five years ago, my life was changed when I was diagnosed with End-Stage Liver Disease. At 56 years old, liver failure put my life on hold, and the life I worked for and dreamed of, in jeopardy. But because of the selfless act of an Organ Donor, the tireless support of my wife, family, and a team of Health Care Professionals from Yale New Haven Hospital, I received a lifesaving liver transplant on Thanksgiving Day, 2022.”

“Participating in this year’s golf tournament with my son Nicholas is an opportunity to celebrate my recovery and enjoy those dreams and opportunities that were in question pre-transplant. As well as share how grateful I am to all who experience the loss of a loved one who was an organ donor, hopefully, your loss is somewhat tempered by the life-sustaining gift they gave to others. And finally, for those awaiting a life-saving transplant to provide HOPE!”

Thank you, Kevin and Nicholas, for participating in this year's golf tournament! #GolfTournament #Golf #DonateLife
