Transplant News and Events

Posted by Kristin Eggebraaten @keggebraaten, Feb 20, 2018

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?

We found it so hopeful to your: “ yes it was worth it”, to us that’s very encouraging. Thank you.

An event for kidney transplant patients, caregivers and family members! Learn how to start the transplant process, find out what to expect throughout the journey, and hear stories from recipients and living donors who have been there. This in-person event will be held April 28th in Minneapolis. We realize not everyone can attend in person - watch for further remote events with similar information coming in the future!
