Happy Valentine's Day and National Donor Day!
Being a living kidney donor (or living liver donor) offers a great option for individuals on the transplant list, reducing waitlist time and leading to better long-term outcomes!
Living donors don't have to be related to their recipients. On average, 1 in 4 living donors are not biologically related to the recipient.

American Heart Month is here! The American Heart Association has set a goal of doubling the cardiac arrest survival rate by 2030. In every cardiac emergency, the real first responder is not always a uniformed professional but an everyday bystander.
Saving a life takes knowledge and courage, not medical training. If a teen or adult collapses, start Hands-Only CPR. It has just two steps: Call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives.

Why Choose the Kidney Transplant Program at Christiana Care?
Each year, more than 1,000 patients rely on Christiana Care’s expert team of doctors and nurses for complete kidney transplant care. This includes:
Kidney transplant evaluation
You will receive an initial evaluation and comprehensive testing to assess your overall health. You will also have the opportunity to meet with several of our team members. Our team works as a committee to determine if you are a good candidate for the kidney transplant list.
Wait list care
Once you are on the wait list, we will connect with you monthly to check on any changes to your health status and any results you receive from outside tests (cardiology tests, CT scans, etc.). We encourage proactive communication.
Surgery and after-transplant care
Our team ensures you receive the best possible care throughout the entire process—even after your surgery. You will be discharged only after you have regained your strength and your health is stable; most patients stay in the hospital up to five days. We also want you to feel comfortable and confident about taking care of yourself before you go home. When you return home, we are available to provide additional information, answer your questions, and help with follow-up care.
Living kidney donation
In addition, we serve those who wish to give the gift of life through living kidney donation. Recipients with a living donor have the best outcomes, and a living donor can be anyone healthy enough to donate. If you would like to be evaluated as a potential living donor, contact us to get the process started.
Whether you are a patient or living donor, we are here to serve you. Connect with us today.
