Workplace Partnership For Life
The Workplace Partnership for Life program, introduced nationally by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and coordinated locally by Lifeline of Ohio, provides a unique opportunity to educate your employees or members about a growing health crisis: the severe shortage of organs and tissue available for transplantation. For a complete list of the more than 12,000 companies who have joined the national Workplace Partnership for Life program, please log onto www.organdonor.gov.
The solution to this crisis is one in which everyone can play a role, by learning more about the dramatic difference one individual can make in saving and enhancing lives through organ and tissue donation.
More than 112,000 Americans – including 3,400 Ohioans – are currently on the waiting list for a life-saving organ transplant, and 18 Americans die each day for lack of an available organ. With very little effort, your organization could potentially make a tremendous difference in the lives of those in need.
To assist our Workplace Partners with their campaign, Lifeline of Ohio offers a variety of printed materials such as posters and table tents, pre-written e-mail messages, pre-written donation-awareness articles, educational displays and speakers at no cost.
