What Inspires Us

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

At AlloSource we are lucky to be inspired by the donor families and patients whose lives we touch and whose stories provide us with the ultimate meaning to our work. We are also blessed to live and work in areas of the country that provide inspiring vistas and landscapes. Many of us spend our personal time and even some of our window-gazing at work being inspired by these panoramas. We asked employees to capture images of the scenes that inspire them, and we received hundreds of photos. We hope these images inspire you, too.

This rings true for me on a daily basis.  I use all kinds of alternative communication methods to stay in touch with friends and colleagues around the country instead of using a landline phone.  I can no longer keep up with remembering the names of all the children born to AlloSource employees in a given year.  And after raising three boys, my wife Cyndy and I are actually on the final countdown to being empty nesters.  Life is all about change!

Change is constant, and for those of us in the tissue donation and processing industry, the last 18 months have meant a wide scale re-tooling of how we do business. For the first time in my nine years at AlloSource, we have seen enough of a significant increase in available tissue donors that our supply actually outweighs the demand. This increase in donors is a strong testament to the work of our organ recovery agencies that help donor families in their time of need and encourage others to pass on their gifts. Read more
