About Us

In 2016, Donor Recovery Services was founded with a clear mission—to support Organ Procurement Organizations and transplant hospital partners in their vital work of compassionately caring for and honoring donor patients and their loved ones while helping to save lives through the gift of donation.


With a deep commitment to excellence, we provide highly skilled, dedicated, and passionate coordinators who seamlessly navigate every phase of the organ donation process. Across the United States, we help bridge critical staffing gaps for Organ Procurement Organizations and transplant hospitals, ensuring continuity, expertise, and the highest level of care in this life-saving mission.

Jaime entered the healthcare industry 18 years ago, gaining extensive experience in critical care. During that time, she was exposed to the realm of organ donation and inspired to transition to that profession in 2010. Jaime traveled across the country working with a variety of Organ Procurement Organizations and quickly came to realize she wanted to dedicate her life and career to this special, humbling work. This led Jaime to establish and build Donor Recovery Services in 2016. Honoring and serving organ donors and their loved ones - in partnership with those involved throughout the organ donation and transplant journey - is an exceptional gift that Jaime and Donor Recovery Services continue to be grateful for.

In 2007, she followed that passion and became an Organ Procurement Coordinator. During her time working with the OPO, Erin was instrumental in improving lung management protocols and increasing lung donation rates.
