The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office is now participating in the My Heart Your Heart pacemaker donation program, an initiative dedicated to providing life-saving cardiac devices to underserved populations worldwide.
The My Heart Your Heart program, spearheaded by the University of Michigan in collaboration with medical institutions and humanitarian organizations, collects, sterilizes, and reuses pacemakers to help patients in need across the globe. Through this partnership, the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office will facilitate the recovery and donation of pacemakers from deceased individuals, with the consent of their families, to give others a second chance at life.

“Our office is committed to not only serving the residents of Hamilton County but also making a meaningful impact beyond our borders,” Coroner Jeff Jellison said. “By participating in the My Heart Your Heart program, we are ensuring that pacemakers, which would otherwise be discarded, are repurposed to save lives.”
This initiative aligns with the Coroner’s Office’s commitment to public service and medical advancements. Families who choose to donate their loved one’s pacemaker can take comfort in knowing that their generosity contributes to a life-saving effort.
