The Huntington Business Spotlight for  February 2018  is The Center for Organ Recovery & Education. Lisa Strother-Upsher, MS , MOTTEP Program Director, Susan Cooper, who is a donor wife, and Toni Sadecky, Huntington Bank Community Manager joined Frank Sparks on Teleforum from 9 to 10 AM. The morning started with Toni telling the listeners about Huntington Bank and why they participate in the Huntington Business Spotlight. Toni explained that Huntington is a bank that believes in the communities that they are embedded within and that Huntington believes in small business and the future of small business. Toni also told the listeners that Huntington is always looking for some good people who want a career with Huntington.

In segment two of the show Frank and Lisa discussed what exactly the Center for Organ Recovery & Education does. Lisa explained the process of being a donor and if you are a donor the process of your organs being harvested upon your passing. She took a couple of phone call messages from the listeners and explained that there are different types of donations that can be made and just because you might be older, have an illness or you pass not at a hospital that you still have organs that are able to be used. There are many types of donations that a person could make to help someone with the gift of life.  You can donate tissue, bone, muscle and even your Cornea’s.

In segment three Susan Cooper told us of her heart felt story  of her husband and the donation he made and how it has affected her life. Susan said while it was one of the hardest days of her life she was still encouraged by her husband Bill giving the gift of life to others. She knew even in death her caring husband was still giving. She is now a volunteer for C.O.R.E. because of her experience and shares her story throughout our area. Susan and her husband Bill are from Beaver and are the former owners of Pollock Typewriter and Office Supply that was also located in Beaver.
