The Power of One Champion – Kevin Henry

Since 2007 Kevin Henry, Cultural Diversity Coordinator for the City of Bellevue, has championed donation in the Northwest!

It all started when he lead a series of trainings for LifeCenter Northwest employees where we identified the need to better serve our diverse region.  Kevin’s network of leaders and decision makers in the local community are tremendous, and through his connections our Diversity Program flourished.  As a result of his commitment to organ, eye and tissue donation, other prominent organizations learned about the cause and invited our team to events that brought visibility to the Donate Life brand, allowed us to engage in dialogue about misperceptions and build solid relationships.

The media exposure he provided by interviewing individuals touched by donation and LifeCenter Northwest staff on various radio programs exposed listeners to the facts around the Revised Uniform Anatomical Gift Act and addressed deep seated myths that contribute to the critical shortage of organ donors.  He has made a significant impact as a Donation Champion, and his endorsement continues to lend credibility to our programs, and provide opportunities for outreach at every turn.
