Transplant News and Events
Hello everyone!
Many events are held each year and many news stories are published that may interest the transplant community. We thought it might be nice to let people know of some of these events and stories, even if they may not apply to everyone. In this discussion, feel free to post events and news stories that might be of interest to transplant patients, caregivers, or donors.
Of note, be sure that your posts don’t violate any of the rules of Connect – you can find those here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/community-guidelines/.
Specifically, please be sure you don’t post commercial postings, advertisements or solicitations.
- Postings such as advertisements for your business, get-rich-quick schemes or solicitations for a charity will be removed. Unfortunately, it is impossible to verify the validity of each and every organization that solicits donations; therefore, to protect you from fraud, we must prohibit solicitations for charities.
What events are you looking forward to?

1 ReactionThanks for posting this, @gratefulbob. I moved your announcement to the discussion titled:
- Transplant News and Events https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/transplant-events/
Can you tell people a bit more about the origins of the group? Who leads it? Is there a place to register for upcoming meetings? Do you have guest speakers or is it more like a coffee-hour exchanging experiences, tips and support?

MAYO (MAYO.pdf)
@gratefulbob, This sounds like a very interesting and informative event.
I am guessing that it is for Mayo Phoenix patients, is that correct?
Do you plan to attend? Have you got a question for the Doctor?
