Versiti, Organ Procurement Organization
Colleen McCarthy joined Versiti in 2010. Versiti is the fourth largest independent blood center in the U.S. with five service lines consisting of Blood Services, Diagnostic Labs, Blood Research Institute, Medical Sciences Institute, and Organ and Tissue Donation. Versiti has operations in Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois. Ms. McCarthy has always had a passion for service and was called to organ donation over 20 years ago while working as a critical care nurse at a Level I Trauma Center in Denver, Colorado. Her experience as a nurse taking care of her first organ donor and his family was a deeply impactful moment for Ms. McCarthy and inspired her to begin her career in organ and tissue donation in 2003.
