Living Donor Services

The program provides potential living organ donors with information, then supports them through the donation process. This includes:

• assessment and testing to see if a person is able to donate
• education about the process of donation
• preparing patient for donation surgery
• following patients post donation

Living donors can be someone related or non-related to the recipient. Anonymous donation may also be an option for liver and kidney donation.

Kidney donors who come forward for a specific recipient and are not a match, may still be able to help that recipient via the Kidney Paired Donation Program.

Eligibility

Adults 18 years or older who meet criteria.
