Allograft Possibilities

Twitter! Helium! Facebook! Blogosphere! LinkedIn!

Are these new made up words? If you’re connected to the high communication environment, you know that these are all ways to get and share information with other people. Who would have imagined as little as several years ago that a messaging website called Twitter would have more than 7 million participating members today? It’s been incredible to watch the alternate methods people have found to stay connected with one another.

And on that note, to help AlloSource communicate with its various stakeholders, we bring you our new blog, AllograftPossibilities.org.

We have published the Allograph as an internal newsletter for years, but in this hyper-connected world we’ve decided it’s time to grow its audience and expand its content. We are pleased to share with you – our Organ Procurement Agency and dedicated healthcare professional partners – all of the great things that are happening at AlloSource.

Here surgeons, nurses and consumers will find constantly updated information about allograft tissue and the patients and families it touches. This site will include in the coming months: personal entries from me, videos of patient stories, tours of our facilities and tissue processing, the latest research regarding allograft tissue and more.

The process of tissue donation, recovery, processing and subsequent transplantation is truly one of the miracles in healthcare today. People who can’t walk without pain can be healed. Critically burned patients can use allograft skin to cover their wounds. Chronic pain from neck or lower back issues can be eliminated. Your role in this process is integral to making these possibilities realities.

I hope you enjoy AllograftPossibilities.org. Contact information can be found under the “Who We Are” tab so let us know if you have any suggestions for improvement.

Thanks for all that you do for the donor and donor families as well as the recipients who receive the gift of life.

Tom Cycyota, Chief Executive Officer
