A Care Team Centered Around You

Living Donor Advocate

Your Living Donor Advocate plays a key role in your journey.

A living donor advocate gives support to organ donors and makes sure their rights and interests are protected while avoiding contact with the person who’s supposed to receive the organ. Donor advocates also make sure you’re not being pressured to donate an organ. The advocate can also help potential donors throughout the donation process and answer questions privately and without judgement.

Living Donor Assistant

Your Living Donor Assistant plays a key role in your journey.

A living donor assistant is often a donor’s first point of contact with the transplant team. They help you with medical records requests, keep you informed of your status, schedule appointments, and answer questions in the early phases of your organ donation journey.

Living Donor Coordinator

Your Living Donor Coordinator plays a key role in your journey.

A living donor coordinator is a registered nurse who helps educate you about living donation and works as a case manager throughout the process. Coordinators also make sure any tests and evaluations you need are done. They also keep you updated about your results and progress. Potential donors are contacted by a living donor coordinator after the questionnaire is reviewed to answer questions and discuss the donation process.

Provider

Your Provider plays a key role in your journey.

A transplant provider can be a specialist, a transplant surgeon, or another type of physician. They will lead your care team.

Advanced Practice Provider

Your Advanced Practice Provider plays a key role in your journey.

An Advanced Practice Provider (APP) is usually a physician’s assistant or a nurse practitioner. They help support your provider in diagnosing and managing your care.

Dietitian

Your Dietitian plays a key role in your journey.

A dietitian helps you eat a healthy diet that will prepare you for a transplant. After surgery, their advice will help your body get the calories and nutrition it needs to heal.

Transplant Pharmacist

Your Transplant Pharmacist plays a key role in your journey.

A pharmacist specializing in caring for transplant patients will instruct you about your transplant medications. They will explain any side effects, and how to take the medications.

Social Worker

Your Social Worker plays a key role in your journey.

The process of getting an organ transplant can be very emotional. Our social workers can help you and your family cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. They can also help connect you with community resources, housing, and spiritual support.

Financial Coordinator

Your Financial Coordinator plays a key role in your journey.

A financial coordinator will handle your billing. They will work with your insurance to figure out benefits. They can also help get financial assistance.

Nurse

In the hospital, nurses help give you daily care. They keep track of your symptoms and side effects and help you know what is happening with your transplant.
