@Denise_R Denise will be speaking about equity in housing post-transplant with fellow transplant recipient Sheri Johnson at 5 pm ET. Don't miss it! You can ask your questions LIVE during their conversation on Zoom.
I'm really intrigued by this. Living outside the US, I feel like our set up for things like housing post transplant differs and I'm not as familiar with the barriers that communities like the one Denise serves are experiencing. I'm excited to learn more
@Shelbycreates both! They had transplant outpatient housing in the dorms, which was full when I had my transplant, and apartments across the street, which is where we stayed. For anyone pediatric there was also Ronald McDonald house close by.

Looking forward to this important conversation. Barriers to transplant come in a lot of different forms and housing is an important one!
@AliEm14 yes, I was chatting with @Denise_R about this yesterday. Was your post transplant housing dorm style or individual?
@Denise_R I couldn’t agree more!
