Meet the Founders

It all began with an idea, strong determination and passion. This led to the creation of PalmettoStar Life Associates, LLC.

Veteran Owned. Black Owned. Female Owned.


  • Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer

    Ms. Champagne has a passion to assist others and uplift her community. She received her surgical training while serving her country in the US Navy. She sharpened her skills as a first assist and surgical technician during her 20 years in organ and tissue donation. Her experience led her to become a manager of recovery coordinators and tissue teams while evaluating training effectiveness. During the pandemic she took the leap to become a travel transplant preservationist. This opportunity gave her a chance broaden her knowledge while training and preparing new preservationists.


  • Co-Founder & Chief Clinical Officer

    Ms. Page’s enthusiasm to provide healthcare for the public began right after college at the Medical University of South Carolina. She worked over 10 years in the forensic pathology department as a research assistant and advancing to forensic pathology assistant. During her tenure, she created and coordinated education opportunities for medical students, nursing residents, and newly promoted law enforcement detectives. In 2016, Ms. Page wanted to serve her community in a different capacity and started working at SharingHope (formally LifePoint, Inc.). As a Clinical Donation Specialist, she acquired an abundance of knowledge to help others and transitioned to a travel transplant preservationist. In addition, she co-authored several peer reviewed articles focusing on organ donation and pathology.
