Genesis HealthCare earns top organ donation award

Southeastern Ohio organ donors enabled Genesis HealthCare System to receive a platinum award for organ donation and education as part of the LifeLine of Ohio 2025 DoNation Campaign.

“In 2025 our community made an extraordinary impact through generosity and compassion,” said Matthew Perry, Genesis HealthCare System president and CEO. “At Genesis we had 37 organ donations from our community, which helped save 28 lives. That same spirit led to 26 tissue donations and 56 eye donations. Each organ donor has the power to save up to eight lives and help heal more than 75 others through tissue donation.”

In 2025 Genesis promoted the benefits of organ donation through public donor registration displays, speakers at local service clubs and nursing schools, and through social media. The DoNation Campaign is a national initiative that unites the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the organ donation community with workplaces nationwide to spread the importance of donation.
