Transplant caregiver education
One of the most vital things in your transplant process is your personal caregiver.
A caregiver is someone who gives physical and emotional support before, during, and after the surgery.
Your caregiver will come to all visits with your transplant team, so you are both educated about transplantation.
Before the transplant, the caregiver helps provide support and educates themselves on the transplantation process.
