It was a privilege to work with him!”

Maudie Jordan, a LifeCenter Hospital Development Program Manager, has been impressed by Dr. White’s profound commitment to donation.

For Sarah Jeter, an Organ Recovery Coordinator at LifeCenter, Dr. White’s positive attitude and flexibility makes him a truly exemplary partner.

“Every time I’ve had a case at St Pete’s, I know I can depend on Dr. White. He always meets me with a smile and answers all my questions before I even have to ask them,” Sarah said. “He is more than accommodating to help with procedures and any management issues I may be having with a patient. He is by far one of my favorite physicians to work with, and he deserves every accolade bestowed on him.”

For his part, Dr. White said that collaborating with LifeCenter has been a very fulfilling part of his work at the hospital.

“Working in the Neuro-ICU, in collaboration with LifeCenter Northwest, I’m privileged to see families grieving from the most devastating events find some solace through the donation process in honoring their loved one with such an altruistic decision,” said Dr. White.
