What Does It Mean to Be a Donor?
It means that you have the potential to help save and enhance the lives of others – those who suffer from chronic illness, from debilitating disease, from the effects of traumatic events. By designating your decision to become a donor you have the opportunity to change the lives of many, and save up to 8 lives. Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana residents, say "Yes" to donation today!
Mission
To save, enhance and change lives through organ and tissue donation.
LifeCenter Mission
Since 1981, we have worked closely with local hospitals to facilitate the recovery of organ and tissue donations, which has saved and healed countless lives in our community. We also continue to work hard to ensure our community is educated on the importance of registering to be an organ, eye and tissue donor.
It only takes one YES to save up to 8 lives, and numerous more through tissue donation.
Please register to become an organ, eye and tissue donor today and help us celebrate more than 40 years of saving and changing lives, right here in our community.
