Recipient Resources

Being told that you will need an organ transplant is overwhelming. Here are some informative sites to that may be helpful before, during, and after transplantation.

Corresponding with Donor Family: Lifebanc will facilitate correspondence with the donor family.

Transplant House of Cleveland: Affordable lodging near transplant centers during the transplant process.

Transplant Recipients International Organization (TRIO): Support and education for Transplant Recipients

Transplant Games of America: Games and events held every other year for recipients, living donors and donor families.

American Transplant Foundation: Resource for those going through the transplant process

National Foundation for Transplant: Resource for those going through the transplant process

Stories

The stories of our donor and recipient families are powerful, moving celebrations of life, hope, and love that get to the heart of why we do what we do, and the difference we can all make. Lifebanc believes that anyone can be a hero – and we see it every day in the generous decisions of people and families who choose and support organ and tissue donation. We’d like you to meet some of these heroes, and some of the Northeast Ohio neighbors they are helping.

Our mission is to heal & save lives, and despite the circumstances, our team continues to make every effort to ensure fulfillment of our mission.

All donation and transplantation work will continue as usual.

Programming, in-person meetings and external events are on-hold until further notice.

We are closely monitoring the situation and will deliver updates via social media, our website, and email communications as things progress.
