@trishak Being you are in Washington, have you checked in to OHSU or Legacy Good Samaritan, both in Portland, Oregon? My husband goes to Legacy for his transplant care since we moved up here in 2019. He was transplanted in 2016.

I agree being able to multi-list at different transplant centers may be helpful. As the old saying goes, if you don't ask, the answer will be "no". Mayo Clinic has a different procurement area, and if you can find a qualifying live donor, there may be less of a wait time.

Hello Ginger, my husband and I are from Alaska; however we are in region 6 procurement area. At this point we haven't checked other transplant centers. Having to test and retest for other centers is a bit of an obstacle
