When collaboration and excellent service come together to uplift organ donation.

Who We Are

  • Founded in 2023, PalmettoStar Life company was born from a deep belief that every organ donation represents hope, generosity, and the chance for life. We set out to support the vital work of organ procurement organizations and transplant hospitals—standing behind the teams who make life-saving transplants possible every day. We began with a clear purpose: to partner closely with OPOs and transplant centers to strengthen donor care, coordination, and operational excellence, always keeping patients, donors, and families at the heart of everything we do.

    What began as a small, mission-driven effort has quickly grown into a trusted partner for organizations dedicated to advancing transplantation. As we continue to grow and build on our original vision, our commitment remains the same: to honor the gift of donation, support the professionals who carry this mission forward, and help ensure that every opportunity to save a life is realized.

  • Provide staffing relief to transplant centers and organ procurement organizations to improve and maximize the quality of life for donor families, organ recipients, and staff

  • At PalmettStar Life Associates, we strive to:

    1. Deliver the highest quality staffing services to Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) and organ transplant service lines during transitions.

    2. Foster an environment of excellence and collaboration through education for hospital staff and OPO partners.

    3. Provide comprehensive education and training for incoming transplant preservationists to effectively serve the donor service area.

  • Our strategic plan is structured to address the three core areas outlined in our mission statement:

    1. Innovative Approach to Staffing Relief
      Implement advanced staffing solutions to ensure seamless transitions and support for transplant centers and organ procurement organizations. Focus on utilizing cutting-edge technology and best practices to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.

    2. Education and Research Assistance

  • Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer

    Ms. Champagne has a passion to assist others and uplift her community. She received her surgical training while serving her country in the US Navy. She sharpened her skills as a first assist and surgical technician during her 20 years in organ and tissue donation. Her experience led her to become a manager of recovery coordinators and tissue teams while evaluating training effectiveness. During the pandemic she took the leap to become a travel transplant preservationist. This opportunity gave her a chance broaden her knowledge while training and preparing new preservationists.


  • Co-Founder & Chief Clinical Officer

    Ms. Page’s enthusiasm to provide healthcare for the public began right after college at the Medical University of South Carolina. She worked over 10 years in the forensic pathology department as a research assistant and advancing to forensic pathology assistant. During her tenure, she created and coordinated education opportunities for medical students, nursing residents, and newly promoted law enforcement detectives. In 2016, Ms. Page wanted to serve her community in a different capacity and started working at SharingHope (formally LifePoint, Inc.). As a Clinical Donation Specialist, she acquired an abundance of knowledge to help others and transitioned to a travel transplant preservationist. In addition, she co-authored several peer reviewed articles focusing on organ donation and pathology.
