LifeCenter Mission and 40th Anniversary
LifeCenter is celebrating 40 years of saving, changing and enhancing lives through organ, eye and tissue donation. Throughout those 40 years we have worked closely with local hospitals to facilitate the Gift of Donation that has helped thousands of people and continue to work hard to ensure our community is educated on the importance of registering to be an organ, eye and tissue donation.
It only takes one Yes to save up to 8 lives. Please register to become an organ, eye and tissue donor today and help us celebrate 40 years of saving and changing lives, right here in our community.

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!
