Medical Center of the Rockies will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in the Longs Peak conference room to provide information on how to become an organ and tissue donor. The open houses are part of National Donate Life Month, which honors the generosity of organ, eye and tissue donors and their families, and transplant recipients.
The open house will feature a couple of Colorado families who will tell their stories about being part of the donation process, with a family member as either a donor or recipient. They will share their stories in a speaker's panel at 11 a.m. and noon.
Among the speakers will be Loveland resident Tracy Sander who lost her 7-year-old-son Colin due to a 2002 automobile accident in Northern Colorado.
