GTF will be hosting upcoming support groups via ZOOM in order to meet the needs of the transplant community by connecting digitally for support and networking. The only requirement is to be a Georgia resident and be somewhere along the transplant journey (pre- or post-transplant patients, dialysis, caregivers, all organ groups are all welcome). We will follow the lead of the group to discuss relevant topics and will offer helpful guidance as needed.
Groups will be limited to no more than 20 per group. You must have internet accessibility and a device that can work with ZOOM (phone, tablet, iPad, laptop, computer etc).
You must register to attend. Please fill out the form below and directions on joining the zoom support group will follow registration.
Please join the Georgia Transplant Foundation (GTF) as we bring together transplant physicians and healthcare experts to inform organ transplant candidates, recipients, living donors, and their families of new information in the field and for an opportunity to network with others in the transplant community. This year’s conference will be entirely online through a Zoom Webinar.
