Join us for this virtual session in the Navigating Transplant: A Guide to Empowering Your Patients series, focused on the power of collaboration between dialysis clinic professionals and kidney transplant teams.

This program provides a focused exploration of how kidney transplantation influences a patient’s long-term health and daily life. Participants will gain an understanding of the broad benefits of transplantation, along with the challenges that may arise in the post-transplant period.

This session will take place on Zoom on Jan. 28, 2026 at 12pm PT / 2pm CT / 3pm ET
