Accelerating Drone Logistics in Transplantation
Tuesday, April 21 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm• EST

Join us for a conversational webinar with Mid‑America Transplant President and CEO Kevin Lee and Tyson Harmon, Valkyrie UAS Solutions CEO, as they share how drone technology is reshaping one of the most time‑critical moments in the organ donation process. As the first organ procurement organization in the nation to use drone transportation for donor blood samples, Mid‑America Transplant is pioneering a faster, more reliable approach to testing and matching—where every minute matters.

In this candid discussion, Kevin and Ty will walk through the launch of Missouri’s first dedicated healthcare drone corridor, why Mid‑America Transplant pursued this innovation, and how drones are already reducing transport times, costs, and logistical complexity compared to traditional methods. They’ll also explore what this milestone means for the future of rural healthcare access, and the broader movement of critical medical supplies.

Designed as an accessible conversation rather than a technical deep dive, this webinar is ideal for healthcare leaders, policymakers, innovators, and anyone interested in how emerging technology can improve patient outcomes and help honor the lifesaving gift of donation.
