Living kidney donation is a gift of life
Almost 40% of kidney donors are living donors. Locating a living donor match can significantly shorten the wait time for a kidney transplant. Kidneys from living donors also typically function much longer with lower rejection rates than kidneys from deceased donors. Learn more about our living kidney donor team and the process to donate.
