Jaclyn Manzanedo, Director of Donation Development for Valley Region of Donor Network West

Today we have Jaclyn Manzanedo on the show. Jacyln is the Director of Donation Development, for the Valley Region of Donor Network West. Donor Network West is a federally designated nonprofit, 501(c)3, organ procurement and tissue recovery organization (OPO) with headquarters in Northern California and Northern Nevada. Established in 1987, they serve more than 13 million people and connect a donor’s gift to those in need in 45 counties in Northern California and Northern Nevada. This is a conversation all about organ donation. It’s something that we don’t like to think about (ehem, our death), but we absolutely should.
