Join Team Kidney HERE! Have questions? Contact development manager, Andrea Giannini at 215.923.8611 x732.
In 2021 we passed the Living Donor Protection Act in the state of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This bill will ensure that life, long-term care and disability insurers will not discriminate against living organ donors. Thank you to all the volunteers, advocates, living donors and their families who made this happen! Join our network of advocates to make a difference for kidney patients.
