Donate Life Ohio

Donate Life Ohio is a coalition of the state's organ, eye and tissue recovery agencies dedicated to educating Ohioans about the need for organ, eye and tissue donation and motivating them to join the Ohio Donor Registry.

95% of Ohioans said that they have a positive view of donation and 80% said that they would wish to donate to a patient in need - but only 59% of Ohioans have actually made the commitment of joining the Ohio Donor Registry. Meanwhile, more than 3,100 Ohioans await a life-saving transplant.

On average, one Ohioan will die every 48 hours awaiting a transplant that doesn't come in time. But you can help. Register to become and organ, eye and tissue donor today.
