Lindsey Banks, BSN, RN, CPTC, CTP, serves as Director of Clinical Services at Legacy of Hope, where she leads clinical operations and oversees organ procurement and preservation teams across the organization. Over the past several years she has guided the expansion and ongoing success of one of the nation’s first transplant center–based donor recovery centers.
Lindsey has grown alongside her organization, beginning her career as a bedside RN in a newly established donor recovery center before transitioning into a front-line coordinator role and later into education, where she contributed to the development and training of clinical staff. Today she oversees clinical staff across multiple disciplines and, through close collaboration with local transplant centers, helps facilitate life-saving transplants while continuously advancing processes that honor donor gifts and support donor families.
She was nominated for The Alliance 40 Under 40 by Andrew Shunk, Senior Clinical Director at Tennessee Donor Services. “Lindsey exemplifies what it means to be a servant leader, consistently prioritizing her team, partners, and the mission of organ donation above all else,” Shunk wrote, noting her unwavering dedication, her commitment to innovation, and her ability to drive meaningful improvements in both clinical performance and team engagement.
