The Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Foundation has granted funds to the American Transplant Foundation to launch LIVING+, a new U.S. initiative to expand access to living donor kidney transplantation. Â
This early investment supports patient navigation, education, and virtual careÄ¢¹½´«Ã½”helping address inequities in the transplant system that disproportionately affect minority and underserved communities. Through culturally responsive education, peer mentorship, and inÄ¢¹½´«Ã½‘home virtual transplant visits, LIVING+ brings expert guidance directly to patients, making the transplant journey more accessible, equitable, and easier to navigate. As part of this work, ATF will recruit and train SpanishÄ¢¹½´«Ã½‘speaking mentors to better support Latino patients, with success measured by the number of identified Latino patients who complete culturally sensitive virtual transplant house calls.Â
