may be possible, and 3) Learning more about what works to bring about donation
(includes a conference next spring). For more info, see the press
release and the fact sheet. TransWeb is pleased to be among these partners;
our contribution is The Transplant Journey.
The Transplant Journey takes
you on a trip through the transplant process, from the first signs of illness
through living with a transplant. During the first year of this project
(which was funded by an educational grant from the federal Division of
Transplantation), we created an introductory path through the transplant
process as well as a detailed path about having a kidney transplant. With
colorful illustrations, audio, animations, and a complete glossary, The
Transplant Journey is an effective new educational tool.
Also today, a new federal
web site about donation, at www.organdonor.gov, was launched in conjunction
with the initiative.
