To the Health Care Professional:
Thanks to the involvement and commitment of health care professionals, we are able to offer vision-impaired patients a second chance at sight. We understand that your relationships with the patients and families in your health facility are meaningful. Your efforts have a significant impact on their lives and emotions, and we respect and appreciate all that you do to support them.
Health Care Professional/Staff Education
Central Ohio Lions Eye Bank provides educational opportunities to hospital and health care professional staff year-round, conducted by Hospital Education Coordinator Cristina DeLaSerda (cdelaserda@coleb.org). Cristina presents continuing education classes designed to train Designated Requestors and to introduce all staff to eye donation concepts and practices. Employing a variety of educational approaches, including role-playing, videos, PowerPoint presentations, unit visits and staff meeting attendance, Cristina will work with each hospital liaison to develop an Eye Donor Program educational opportunity that best fits the hospital's needs. She also works with hospice and long-term care facility staff to ensure that professionals are appropriately trained and supported for interacting with individuals interested in eye donation and the families of potential eye donors.
Central Ohio Lions Eye Bank believes in providing opportunities for individuals and families to make informed decisions regarding eye donation. Please access the Donating Your Eyes and Common Questions tabs here or on the left of this page for an overview of the information that should be shared with those who are considering eye donation.
