Register for our upcoming webinar on Tuesday, June 11, 2024 at 7pm EDT.
We've held a few recent events on the topic of kidney donation and transplantation. Our next webinar event focuses on living kidney donation.
Do you have questions about how someone might become a living kidney donor?
At this webinar, Canadian Blood Services will be sharing information about the living organ donation process. The Transplant Ambassador Program (TAP) will talk about their support services for living organ donors and recipients, and a woman who donated one of her kidneys to her aunt with PKD will share her story.
Do you have questions that you're hoping our speakers will answer? Send them to us ahead of time, to the email address below.
