First Gift

Last night, our team gathered with our partners at Sharing Miracles to celebrate 50 years of impact at the AATB Annual Congress anniversary dinner. We're grateful to work together to make a healing impact in the lives of others for years to come!

A new opportunity to give the gift of healing is now available in Columbia.

Mothers delivering by C-section at Boone Health can now donate their placenta and umbilical cord through First Gift. One donation can help up to 75 people suffering from ocular and skin wounds, traumatic burns, and other conditions that are hard to treat.

We’re grateful to the team at Boone Health for partnering with us to make this possible and to KRCG 13 for sharing the story and helping spread the word about First Gift.

Check out the story here:

Boone Health has launched a new birth tissue donation program, First Gift, this week in partnership with Saving Sight.

This Labor Day, we’re honoring the strength, love and generosity of mothers.

Through First Gift, moms have the opportunity to give the gift of birth tissue, helping provide healing and hope to others while beginning a new chapter in their own motherhood journey.

Today, we celebrate the labor of motherhood — and the incredible gift that can come from it. 💜

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating moms like Courtney whose love and compassion created hope for others from the very beginning. When Courtney welcomed her son, Heath, she made the decision to donate her birth tissue through First Gift, helping support healing and improving lives for patients in need.

“It didn’t add stress to my experience at all. It was easy and heartwarming, something I’ll always be happy I could be a part of.”

As both a mom and a mother-baby nurse, Courtney understands the power of education, compassion, and small decisions that can make a lasting impact.

Today, we had the honor of celebrating a very special milestone, First Gift’s first birthday, alongside the incredible Labor and Delivery team at Mosaic!

Together, we recognized the very first families who chose to give the healing gift of birth tissue donation. Each name in this shadowbox, gifted to the Labor and Delivery Team, represents a powerful act of generosity, one that can heal up to 75 lives.

We’re so grateful for our partners at Mosaic who make this work possible every day, and for the families who say “yes” in such meaningful ways. One year in, and we’re just getting started.💜💙
