Advocate for Change
The field of transplantation is one of the most regulated areas of healthcare today. The United States government has direct oversight and control over many aspects of recipient care and medical research. Join the transplant community in ensuring that transplant candidates and recipients have access to essential medicines, insurance coverage and the best care possible. They know that advocating for patients is important to fight for change.
