Approval

You will undergo thorough medical and psychological evaluations to approve you as a potential living donor.  Compatibility with an intended recipient is not a barrier to organ donation.  Paired exchange is a strategy to address this obstacle.

Donation

Transplant facilities work with donors to schedule surgery at a workable time.  Donors may be able to have surgery at a hospital closer to home instead of the recipient’s hospital.  Planning ahead, starting at sign up, will create the best donation experience.
