Our Coaches

Microsite patients have the option of working with a donor search coach. Donor search coaches are individuals who have successfully navigated the liver search process and found a living donor for themselves or a loved one, and can provide guidance, support, and practical strategies to patients and their champions.

Coaching is offered free of charge to microsite patients.
