United Tissue Network
We are very excited to share with you the release of our new company name and website. United Tissue Network exists to empower people who want to make a difference through whole-body donation by uniting them with professionals dedicated to the advancement of medical technology, training and education.

  GenLife Institute is now United Tissue Network 

 

GenLife Institute, a whole-body donation company who works directly with medical personnel and educators dedicated to the advancement of medical innovation, is proud to announce our new brand, United Tissue Network, effective immediately. 

 

Changing the name to United Tissue Network formalizes a shift in our company strategy that has been under way for several months. As we continue to grow and create awareness about the benefits of becoming a whole-body donor, our former name no longer fully described our company.

 

"We are very excited about the introduction of our new company name. We believe the name United Tissue Network allows us to better represent our business as we move forward with enhancing everyday lives through physician training," David Breedlove, Chief Executive Officer of United Tissue Network said. "Our goal when we founded the company in 2009 was to enrich the health and welfare of people across the world. We want to ensure that our image and name accurately reflect what we do."

 

We are also happy to unveil our new identity and redesigned website, www.unitedtissue.org. The new site prominently features our focus on medical innovation through our whole-body registration. Included with this name change is the introduction of our new online consent forms, which allows for simple registration into our donor program.

 

Leadership and staff have not changed.
