What is the Living Donor Process Like?

@rosemarya June 5 is special to me for another reason. It is the anniversary of my Whipple procedure. When we came to Rochester in August for my initial kidney transplant evaluation, we were too busy to stop at Gift of Life. When we came in December for my PET scan for my cancer, my wife and I toured the Gift of Life House. We are hoping they will have a room available for us when I get my transplant. As a donor, are my sister and her husband eligible to stay at the Gift of Life?

@marvinjsturing, The Gift of Life House is for transplant recipient and a caregiver; and for donor and caregiver. So that would be 2 separate bed/bathrooms, and community living areas. You have to see it to believe it! The moment you walk in the door there is a feeling of hope and peace. You are both eligible to stay there during the evaluation as well as the transplant time, and anytime you go to Rochester for follow-ups. Why don't you call them ahead of time to get more specific details? https://gift-of-life.org/
