It’s amazing to think one person can save up to 8 lives through organ donation and provide healing for more than 75 through tissue donation.
On April 2, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., OhioHealth Hardin Memorial Hospital and Lifeline of Ohio will host a flag raising ceremony outside the hospital at 921 E Franklin Street, Kenton to celebrate and honor the lives impacted by organ and tissue donation. A reception will be held in the McCullough Conference Room following the ceremony.
National Donate Life Month (NDLM) is a time to honor those generous donors who have saved and healed lives through the gift of donation. It’s also a time to raise awareness for organ, eye and tissue donation and encourage people to register their donation decision.
Nearly 3,000 Ohioans are waiting for a lifesaving transplant, and more than half of Ohioans have registered their decision to be a donor in the Ohio Donor Registry.
NDLM was established by Donate Life America (DLA) and its partnering organizations in 2003 and is observed annually each April. This year’s theme is, “Let Life Sing.”
