Welcome to The Building Texas Show,

Guest: Jennifer Milton and Keven London

Host:  Justin McKenzie

Jennifer Milton returns! We are thrilled to help announce that the Boerne 0.5k has new leadership and a plan for 2024. We also celebrate Jenn’s month long mission of green and blue. She is raising awareness for Donate Life and looking good while doing it. Enjoy this episode and thank you for sharing this message with friends.

Welcome Keven London to the Boerne 0.5k fandom as he leads us into a bright future. We do all of this work together to benefit Blessing in a Backpack. We referenced an early episode of Building Texas that highlights Jenn’s Miracle Making mentality. If you don’t know what Donate Life means or the impact San Antonio has nationwide in the transplant world, take the time to check it out!

Jennifer Milton is a Clinical Assistant Professor and the Chief Administrative Officer at the University Health Transplant Institute, where she is charged to integrate the business, operational, quality, and strategic efforts for University of Texas Health San Antonio and the University Health System.

University Health Transplant Institute performs adult and pediatric liver, kidney and lung transplant and is the home of the Center for Life, a facility dedicated to the care of tissue and organ donors. The Center for Life is proud to partner with the South Texas Blood and Tissue, San Antonio Eye Bank and Texas Organ Sharing Alliance, a partnership that has impacted  over 70,000 recipients of organ, tissue and corneas since its opening in just 2020.

Jennifer entered the field of transplantation almost thirty years ago as an organ donation nurse  coordinator in South Carolina and refers to her very first experiences with donor families as her  continued source of passion for this field. Jennifer has volunteered on numerous local and  national nonprofit boards including Past Chair of the UNOS Policy Oversight Committee, Texas Kidney Foundation and she serves as the current Chair of Donate Life America which recently  launched the National Living Donor Registry. She serves as a Primary Investigator for several  research endeavors, has published and presented extensively on issues impacting the field of  donation and transplantation. She has been honored by the San Antonio Business Journal as a  Health Care Hero, received the Batz Foundation Weezie Hero award, and was named the 2022  Heckenkemper Leader in US Transplant Administration.
