Today the National Kidney Registry announced the activation of its 4,000th patient microsite. The microsite program provides free personalized websites, patient coaching, educational materials, and business cards to people who are seeking a living donor (kidney or liver). To date, over 580 microsite patients have achieved a living donor transplant.
“For patients in need of a kidney or liver transplant, finding a living donor can be a challenge,” said Samantha Hil, a living kidney donor transplant recipient and the NKR’s Microsite Product Manager. “The NKR’s microsite program makes it easier for patients to tell their stories and spread the word about their need for a living donor.”
The microsite program is offered at 59 NKR Member Centers nationwide. Microsites are available in both English and Spanish and microsite patients are supported by eight professional donor search coaches who are either transplant recipients or personally led a successful living donor search campaign for a friend or family member.
