Sarah LaPlante

Director, Family Services

Sarah LaPlante is the Director of Family Services for Southwest Transplant Alliance.

Sarah is a proud Oklahoma native who attended the University of Oklahoma and received a B.S. in Health and Exercise Sciences. Her healthcare career began as a respiratory therapist at The Oklahoma Children's Hospital. There, Sarah had a chance to collaborate on donation cases, igniting a desire to grow more involved with the lifesaving mission of donation. This passion brought her to LifeShare Oklahoma, where she served as an in-house coordinator and then as Manager of Family Care. Sarah is passionate about bridging the gap between trauma and hope, loss and legacy and guiding grieving families to embrace life.

In her free time, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family and their dog and exploring their new home state of Texas.
