Lifeline of Ohio Speaks to Clay Students

Ellen Andersen, Community Educator from Lifeline of Ohio, and Tim Jones, a donor heart recipient, came to speak to Clay High School freshmen and sophomores on March 23, 2017.

According to Andersen, "...lives will be saved because you offered the opportunity for students to learn about donation. It is our goal that in the tragic circumstances, which allow for organ donation to take place, that families will make the decision they would have made a month earlier just sitting around the dinner table. We know that students do go home and discuss organ donations and that in the hospital setting they often are influential when the decision to donate is made."
