Financial Support
Organ transplant candidates, recipients and their families often face overwhelming financial needs related to their transplant. Many of these needs are not considered medical in nature but have a direct impact on the survival and health of the transplant recipient. The primary reason for the Financial Assistance Program is to respond quickly to these needs offering transitional support during these critical times.
