Ken Long DENIED HEART TRANSPLANT at CINCINNATI CHRIST HOSPITAL

Ken's story revolves around his battle for a heart transplant at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, where he was denied the procedure due to his refusal to be vaccinated for conscientious reasons.

Despite meeting all medical requirements for a transplant, including undergoing multiple tests and treatments, Ken was informed that he would not be eligible for a heart transplant unless he received the required vaccines. This decision was devastating, especially considering his critical health condition. Instead of being approved for a transplant, Ken was offered a heart assist device, the LVAD, which comes with its own health complications.

His story highlights the profound impact of vaccine status discrimination in the medical field and the ongoing fight for medical freedom and patient rights.

This is a fight for religious freedom, medical rights, and the life of this man. Let's make sure Ken gets the care he deserves! Please act NOW!

Basic Contact Info - Your contact info is required to ensure that your message makes it to the appropriate legislators based on your residence and so they may reach back out to you with any follow-up questions.

Message to Hospital Administration:

Dear [hospital administrator], I am reaching out to you regarding your hospital's vaccination policy as it relates to transplant patients. It is my belief that transplant patients should have the option to decline vaccinations of their choice for religious and conscientious reasons. It is my understanding that individuals should not be denied essential healthcare based on their sincerely held religious or conscientious beliefs. I urge you to reconsider policies that unjustly limit access to care for patients who choose not to be vaccinated due to their deeply held beliefs. Everyone deserves access to the healthcare they need without facing discrimination for their religious beliefs or personal convictions. Sincerely, [your name]

Message to Ohio Lawmakers:

Dear [Ohio lawmaker], I am writing to urge your support for Representative Jennifer Gross' Conscientious Right to Refuse Act, which would protect Ohioans from discrimination based on their vaccine status. This critical legislation ensures that individuals can make informed, personal choices about their health without facing consequences that could limit their access to essential healthcare, employment, or other vital services. By supporting this bill, you would stand up for the rights of Ohioans to make decisions based on their deeply held religious or conscientious beliefs, promoting both health freedom and fairness for all citizens. I strongly encourage you to take action and support this important measure. Sincerely, [your name]

I understand that OAMF will send me follow-up emails.
