Transplant Center

Patient Information


 

About the Series

The University of Maryland Medical System has launched a series of free educational programs for transplant patients, which includes liver, kidney, pancreas, heart and lung transplant patients.

These monthly programs will feature speakers and presentations on topics of interest to transplant and potential transplant patients. There will be time for questions, discussion and meeting other patients at the end of each program, and a light dinner will be served as well.

Anyone who is waiting for or has received a kidney, liver, pancreas, heart or lung transplant may attend.
