SAVE AND HEAL LIVES THROUGH ORGAN, EYE AND TISSUE PROCUREMENT & ORGAN PRESERVATION.

About

Lifebanc is the Northeast Ohio nonprofit organization working to save and heal lives through organ and tissue donation. Saving and healing lives since 1986, Lifebanc began as one of the original organ procurement organizations in the United States and is a leader in the field and a highly respected organization regionally and nationally. Lifebanc serves the Northeast Ohio population of over four million people and works with 80 hospitals in a 20-county area. Volunteers and staff work to educate the public about organ and tissue donation, encourage individuals to designate their donation decision and offer grief support services to families touched by donation. Lifebanc is governed by a volunteer board of directors; comprised of community members, clinicians, recipients and donor family members, who drive organizational strategy with the vision of a future where organ, eye and tissue donation is embraced as an honor and a personal responsibility. In 2018, organ, eye and tissue donors in Northeast Ohio saved more lives in 2018 than any previous year. Lifebanc helped to facilitate the gifts of 162 organ donors and 841 tissue and eye donors. Organ donors in Northeast Ohio donated 497 organs that saved the lives of 434 people in 2018. The amount of people saved by organ donors from Northeast Ohio each year has risen 41% since 2014. Organs from donors in Northeast Ohio were transplanted to recipients in 18 states and the District of Columbia. Many life-saving and healing procedures utilize donated tissue. The gifts of tissue donors will save the lives of burn victims, repair damaged hearts, give back mobility and restore sight to tens of thousands of people. Lifebanc provides extensive care for the families of donors that begins at their first moment of need and extends for up to two years past the gifts of the donation. Included in that care is free grief support in the form of individual counseling with a licensed therapist, group counseling, and host of other activities. In 2018, Lifebanc communicated with 2,203 families, provided 572 hours of individual counseling, and offered five support groups. Lifebanc also helps coordinate anonymous communication between donor families and recipients and facilitated 682 communications in 2018. Despite the increase in organ, eye and tissue donors there remains a critical organ shortage in the United States. There are currently 113,735 people waiting for a life-saving organ transplant across the country. There are 1,765 people waiting in Northeast Ohio alone. In 2018, 345 people in Northeast Ohio either died waiting for an organ or became too sick to transplant. The best chance those still waiting have at receiving the life-saving transplant they need is by increasing the number of people who register their wishes to be an organ, eye and tissue donor. In 2018, over 62,000 people in Northeast Ohio registered for the first time on the Ohio Donor Registry.
