The Board of Directors and staff of LOPA mourn the passing of longtime board member and donation advocate, K. Trevor From, MD.

A nephrologist for 50 years, Dr. From served on the LOPA Board for over 20 years, most recently as Vice-Chair. According to LOPA CEO Kelly Ranum, Dr. From’s dedication to donation helped save countless lives and provided hope and healing for donor families. “He was instrumental in passing the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act in 2010 and helped bring the plans for a state-of-the-art Donor Care Center and LOPA headquarters to fruition in 2018. We are grateful for his leadership and vision.”

Dr. From spent the majority of his career practicing in Central Louisiana where he experienced first-hand the lifesaving gift of kidney donation on so many of his patients. He was a staunch advocate for donation and served on the front lines educating about the need for organ, tissue and eye donation in Louisiana.
