Georgia Transplant Foundation is pleased to offer JobLink, an assistance program that helps transplant recipients who are Georgia residents return to the work environment. JobLink offers recipients needed information and training in order for them to reach their occupational goals. The rebuilding of self-worth, personal satisfaction, and financial stability is important to both recipients and their families.
Unemployment among transplant recipients is presently over 83 percent nationwide.
Functional limitations resulting from organ and tissue transplantation often prohibit
recipients from returning to the same occupation that they had prior to
their illness. Frequently, they're not able to perform the same job tasks.
But there's a solution...
Working in coordination with our state vocational division, JobLink will facilitate access to their services, while providing a comprehensive return-to-work program -- at no cost to the recipient. Saint Joseph's is the second transplant center in the United States to offer an on-site vocational rehabilitation placement program for recipients.
Georgia Transplant Foundation return-to-work program can be the link that completes, full circle, the goal of transplantation: returning recipients to a productive lifestyle.
