Welcome to EMPOWERTRANSPLANTTM, the dedicated program designed to support you through every phase of the transplant journey. Navigating the world of organ transplantation—whether you’re a patient, family member, or friend—comes with unique challenges, and we are committed to providing you with reliable education and compassionate support throughout your journey.

Being informed is being empowered. On this page, you’ll find carefully curated resources tailored to all phases of the transplant journey. Dive into discussion guides, utilize the lists of crucial questions to ask your doctors and care team, and watch the collection of educational videos. Our goal is to provide the education and hope you need to manage this significant chapter in life. Remember, you don’t have to navigate this alone; we are here to help you feel confident, prepared, and supported every step of the way.

This program is supported by educational grants from Natera, Abbott and Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Join us monthly on the 3rd Tuesday at 4 PM EST for Empower Transplant Support Group Meetings.  Email info@mendedhearts.org for the link to join.
