Drew Timmons, CTBS, is the Tissue Donation Screening & Education Supervisor at UT Southwestern Transplant Services Center Lions Eye Bank. While serving as an enlisted aircrew member in the Air Force, Drew became interested in health care after flying a medical evacuation mission from Canada to the United States. Once he left the military, this interest intensified while his wife was dealing with health issues which led to the decision to attend nursing school. After graduation, Drew went to work in a surgical intensive care unit where he worked on numerous organ donor cases. Several years later he joined the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency as an organ recovery coordinator, later becoming a regional manager. In 1999, Drew moved to Dallas where he began working at Transplant Services Center UT Southwestern Medical Center in a dual role coordinating recoveries and performing hospital development. Currently, Drew oversees the Eye & Tissue Call Center as well as the Outreach team which works with hospitals to facilitate the donation process. In addition, the team performs public education to promote donation. An award-winning photographer, Drew enjoys traveling and spending time with his grandchildren.
