New Pediatric Transplant Information Resource Now Available
In the United States alone, there are more than 2,100 children currently waiting for an organ transplant. This time can be especially stressful and challenging for both children and their families.
To help children and families feel more at ease with the organ transplantation process, the Transplant Living Web site, www.transplantliving.org has been expanded to include pediatric-specific topics and resources in an understandable format. It is also designed to let parents know that they are not alone and that there are other children that need a transplant.
Key features include:
- Addressing children's needs
- Coping with anxiety
- Helping children adjust after transplant
- Camps for kids with special needs
- Many additional resources
Acclaimed by the transplant community as the premier information resource for transplant patients, their families and the medical professionals who care for them, the Transplant Living Web site offers an unprecedented volume of practical and scientific information and resources. Its neutrality and robust, user-friendly environment is designed to meet the growing patients' information needs at every phase of the transplant process.
