A meaningful conversation isn't just about what you say. It's about what you hear.

Ask someone what questions or concerns they have about donation. Then listen.

Understanding starts with a conversation. Who do you want to hear from this weekend? 💚

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Lorain for a conversation about organ, eye and tissue donation. We answered community questions, heard three personal stories from donor and recipient families, and welcomed Dr. Shoghi McLean from MetroHealth, who helped answer questions about organ donation and chronic diseases that can affect the Hispanic community.

We’re grateful to everyone who shared their experiences and helped make this an open, meaningful conversation.

Staying active, independent, and mobile is something we all value. On National Falls Prevention Awareness Day, we're highlighting the importance of protecting mobility and helping people maintain the quality of life they value most.💚
