Mentor Program
Throughout the transplant journey of the evaluation process, waiting for the call, having the surgery, recovering and then adjusting to a “new normal” life after transplant, can be a relief from illness, but also be emotional and stressful. Support from friends, family, and the transplant center team can help, but talking to someone who has been through a similar situation is the best inspiration for keeping a good attitude to realize positive outcomes. A trained mentor can be a source of reassurance and support for anyone at any point in the transplant journey: preparing for an evaluation, candidates on the waitlist, recipients, caregivers, family members, friends or supporters.
Transplant Team Arizona
The mission of Team Arizona is to support organ donor awareness by demonstrating the effectiveness of the transplantation process to increase the number of registered organ, eye and tissue donations in the state of Arizona.
We, with transplant supporters and health providers, assist our team members with the costs associated with participation at the Transplant Games of America and World Transplant Games, where we celebrate our newfound health to bring attention to the success of organ and tissue transplantation and honor the memory of donors and donor families.
