Diana Rogel of Live On Nebraska Shares Impact Stories and Dispels Myths About Organ Donation

Episode 202


Diana Rogel is the diversity outreach and engagement coordinator
at Live On Nebraska, one of 56 organ procurement organizations in
the country. Live On is responsible for recovering organs and
tissue from deceased donors for transplantation, and maintaining
the state's donor registry.


According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, more than
100,000 people in the United States are awaiting transplants. One
donor can save up to eight lives.


Part of Live On Nebraska’s mission is to educate the public about
the donation and transplant processes through outreach and
events.


In this conversation, Rogel and Michael Griffin talk about how a
family illness and her background in community engagement led to
her current role with Live On. Rogel also dispels common myths
about organ donation, and explains how to register as a donor and
why everyone should.
