Lifeline of Ohio Hosts 2nd Breakthrough Collaborative
LifeLine of Ohio
Lifeline of Ohio hosted its 2nd annual Organ and Tissue Donation Collaborative at the Quest Center in Columbus Tuesday, October 23. The hospital relations team worked very hard to plan an interesting and educational day for the hospital partners. We were so pleased to have great weather and more than 150 people attend.
Helen Bottenfield, executive director of the Organ Donation and Transplantation Alliance, moderated the day, and shared her enthusiasm for saving lives through organ donation in a way that encouraged others to do their best in this effort.
We laughed, we cried and we all learned more of what we can do to save lives.
The speakers were awesome and so inspiring! Lifeline of Ohio’s staff discussed how the Ohio Donor Registry is making a difference, explained the step-by-step process of donation after circulatory death, and led breakout sessions on tissue donation and donor management in the intensive care unit. Dr. William Carroll, MD, of Grant Medical Center, explained brain death determination in a clear way, and illustrated it through interesting movie clips to emphasize his points. One of the highlights for me was seeing the clip from “The Wizard of Oz†where the coroner needs to pronounce the Wicked Witch as officially, morally, legally, dead!
