Today is Donate Life Living Donor Day, celebrating living organ and tissue donors who save and heal lives!

The healing gift of birth tissue is a type of living donation. Birth tissue includes the placenta and umbilical cord. This tissue is often destroyed after childbirth. Now, grafts derived from birth tissue can be used to promote natural wound healing.

United Tissue Resources is proud to now offer the choice of donating birth tissue to new mothers in Central Texas! Thank you to all living donors for your remarkable generosity! 💙💚

April is National Donate Life Month!

This year’s theme uses trees as a symbol of life and connection. Just like trees grow and support each other in a forest, donation connects people – donors, recipients, and their families. Like a tree that grows and stands for generations, a donor’s gift leaves a lasting legacy of hope and life. 🌳

This National Donate Life Month, join us in helping to save and heal lives – register your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor at DonateLifeTexas.org and share your decision with your family and community! 💙💚

United Tissue Resources supports the American Burn Association, as they work to advance and advocate for burn care, partner with burn centers and burn care teams, prevent injuries, and help survivors thrive.

In 2025, tissue donors helped UTR to deliver 150 grafts to the burn center at Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas. That’s more than 252 square feet of life-changing tissue.
