About LifeLink
More than four decades ago, a visionary group of innovators, led by renowned nephrologist Dr. Dana Shires, made a life-changing commitment-to save lives through organ and tissue donation. From that bold beginning, LifeLink Foundation was established - founded with heart, purpose, and a mission that still guides us today.
What started as a nonprofit with big dreams has grown into a vision-driven organization of more than 700 dedicated professionals across west-central Florida, Georgia, parts of South Carolina, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
At LifeLink, we are united by our mission: To honor donors and save lives through organ and tissue donation.
Our vision remains clear: To maximize the gift of life while giving hope to donor families and transplant patients.
We are grounded in the values that shape our work and culture-Compassion. Excellence. Legacy. People. Quality.
If you're inspired by purpose, driven by impact, and ready to help save and heal lives, LifeLink is the place for you.
