LCO joins AST’s Living Donor Circle of Excellence program

Life Connection of Ohio is proud to announce its membership in the American Society of Transplantation’s Living Donor Circle of Excellence program.

The Living Donor Circle of Excellence program celebrates organizations that eliminate barriers to living donation by providing salary support to employees who choose to be living organ donors.

“Living donors are heroes amongst us. Their gift is life-saving for patients in need of a kidney or liver transplant and has a huge positive impact on society,” Living Donor Circle of Excellence Founder Dr. John Gill said.

Life Connection of Ohio serves families and saves lives through deceased organ donation, but it embraces living donation as an incredibly generous way to pay it forward.

“Life Connection of Ohio’s American Society of Transplantation’s Living Donor Circle of Excellence membership aligns with our core values of let’s go mentality, uncompromising advocacy and authenticity,” Life Connection of Ohio President & CEO Matthew Wadsworth said. “Our organization exists to save lives, and we are committed to supporting our team members who give the gift of life.”
