About Us
OUR MISSION
Cascade Life Alliance is a federally designated non-profit organ procurement organization. We serve Oregon, southwest Washington and western Idaho, and have offices in both Portland and Boise. Since our founding in 1987, the mission has remained:
To save, enhance, and heal lives through organ donation and transplantation
Our mission is honored daily by a team of clinical organ procurement coordinators, donation and family advocates, preservationists, referral response coordinators, hospital development coordinators, quality and data analysts, aftercare support providers, clinical educators, administrative staff and medical directors.
