National Pediatric Transplant Week

National Pediatric Transplant Week

Nearly 2,000 children under 18 years old are on the U.S. organ transplant waiting list. Of those, approximately 500 are children ages 1 to 5. In order to raise awareness of the need for organ donors, several transplant organizations – including Transplant Families – is introducing the first annual National Pediatric Transplant Week, April 23-27. As part of National Donate Life Month, this week gives pediatric donor/recipient families the opportunity to share stories and inspire others.

Educational webinars and other activities are planned. Click here for more information about National Pediatric Transplant Week.
