The Fresenius Medical Care 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.
This early investment supports patient navigation, education, and virtual care—helping address inequities in the transplant system that disproportionately affect minority and underserved communities. Through culturally responsive education, peer mentorship, and in‑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 Spanish‑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.
