Donor Network of Arizona

02/05/2026

40 years. That's how long we've been in the business of saving and healing lives. We're just getting started 💚 Read more on our history below ⬇️

It all started in 1986 when Arizona’s first organ donation program, Arizona Organ and Tissue Bank (AOTB), was born by a department of Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, now known as Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix.

Fast forward to now: AOTB changed its name to Donor Network of Arizona (DNA). We serve as the first responders for organ donation in Arizona, caring for donors and working with donor families to uphold the decision to give life to others.

Of course, we couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for being here.

5 million people have made the decision to register as an organ donor in Arizona. What does it mean? Why isn't 5 million enough?

🌟 Spotlight on Hannah Spinks 🌟

"As a preservation coordinator, we go to all organ procurements and assist with back table set up, flushing, organ packaging, and much more. We basically make sure the OR goes smoothly (with the help of our amazing organ recovery coordinators). All of what we do in the OR directly impacts organs going to recipients for transplant, saving lives. Having such a direct impact on our mission is such a blessing, and I love getting to be a part of it!"

Hannah is a rock climbing enthusiast and loves all things music, she will listen to almost anything!

"... I do have a soft spot 80s new wave and yacht rock for sure," says Hannah.

Thank you for all you do supporting the mission to help heal and save lives, Hannah! You rock!
