‘Organ Transplant Support Group'
For anyone who has received an organ transplant or is
on the waiting list.
Confused? Anxious? Impatient? Fearful??
If you are waiting for an organ transplant, you know the stress that accompanies
the wait. But you don’t have to wait alone!
You are invited to join
the Transplant Support Group and talk to others who can
truly understand your feelings because they share them. Express your feelings
in an open, nonjudgmental, informal setting. Learn how others are coping with
similar concerns. Learn from those who have been through the transplant experience.
Make new friends and share some laughs.
Families can get involved too! Spouses and other family members are encouraged
to attend, as they are able.
Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month from 1:00-3:00
pm. The
support group meetings are free of charge and are open to anyone who has received
a transplant or is on the waiting list at any transplant center.
