Virtual support group (zoom) for kidney transplant?

So, it looks to me like there is no virtual support group(zoom) for kidney transplant patients who are transplanting at Mayo/Phoenix?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Transplants Support Group.

Are you aware of this support group?

Yes. You can hop on any day that works. It is once weekly and you just register you're joining that day. I do it when time allows. Great group. Moderated by social worker. Check it out

I joined this group last week, but it was geared towards Liver and Liver & Kidney transplant patients and caregivers rather that kidney specifically. I believe it is out of Florida Mayo Clinic. I found a Transplant Caregiver Support Group from Mayo Clinic Arizona that meets the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month at 11 a.m. AZ time. I am not sure about one for patients, but perhaps you can call them directly.
I hope this helps.
