In many cases, those with a history of cancer, chronic disease or illness may still be able to donate organs or tissues.

"All Lifeline of Ohio employees have access to the Donor Registry."
Only a select group of Lifeline of Ohio staff can access the Donor Registry.
That select group only accesses the Donor Registry, through the appropriate agency, when a notification is made and only for the patient for whom the notification was made.
The registry status of the patient is then documented in the private, secure Lifeline of Ohio Electronic Donor Record.
