Please join us for the OTS meeting on Friday, April 3, 2020, starting at 7pm.  The topic of this meeting will be a panel discussion about the communication between transplant recipients and their donor families.  We have invited several transplant recipients to share their stories of contact with their donor families, either by letter or by in person meeting.  They will talk about when they wrote the important first letter to their donor family,  when they received a response to their letter, and about any ongoing communication they have with their donor families.  

If you are thinking of writing to your donor family, or you have questions about writing that first letter, this is a perfect meeting for you.  You will be able to ask questions to other transplant recipients,  and you will leave with tips for communicating with your donor family.  

Before the panel discussion we will have a presentation from Margaret Pearson, who is a coordinator for the State of Illinois office of Organ and Tissue Donation. Margaret will share the events that are planned by the Secretary of State’s office during Donate Life month in April, including the latest public service announcement about organ donation. 

We are looking forward to seeing you at the OTS meeting on Friday, April 3, 2020.
