March Transplant Birthdays
We are thrilled for our patients who received lifesaving transplants last month!
As you know, the transplant journey is a long one, and it doesn’t end when the patient receives his or her transplant. Transplant recipients require a lifetime of costly follow-up care and vital medications.
At the National Foundation for Transplants, we are dedicated to raising hope, one patient at a time.

- Theresa Martin (liver) at Duke University Medical Center
- Beth Myers (stem cell) at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
