Life on the waiting list can be incredibly difficult. Our team is committed to supporting patients waiting, transplant patients, and their families. We also help recipients and families stay involved in the transplant community.
From providing a place to stay before transplant to connecting recipients with donor families, we are here to help. Explore our recipient programs below or reach out to a member of our team at 314-735-8200 or info@midamericatransplant.org.
Write to Your Donor Family
Many recipients feel compelled to reach out to donor families to thank them for sharing the gift of organ and tissue donation. A simple “thank you” can provide important closure not only for your own family but also for the family that is coping with the incredible loss of a loved one. Our team is available to facilitate communication between transplant recipients and donor families. For more information on where to send your letters and tips on what to include, visit our Communicating with Donor Families page.
Get Involved
For transplant patients and recipients, the transplant community can be a source of hope, support, and shared experiences.
