At 8:01 am on July 12th, LifeCenter Northwest CEO, Kevin O’Connor reached the summit of Mt. Rainier. He joined a team climbing not only to reach the summit at 14,410 ft elevation but to take the message of organ donation to new heights. The team included Dr. Andrew Precht, Director pf the Liver & Pancreas Transplant Program at Swedish Medical Center, Dr Udo Schmiedl, a radiologist at Swedish, heart recipient Kelly Perkins, and husband and wife Tim Obrien & Cori Mackie. Cori donated a kidney to Tim, who has been a climber all his life and with his new kidney was able to climb Mt Rainier for the 99th time. Together, the group not only made it to the summit of Mt Rainier but also shared the life-saving message of organ donation throughout our community.
