FAIR Foundation Liver Disease & Transplant Support Group

formerly known as the Coachella Valley Hepatitis C, Liver Disease and Transplant Support Group

Mission Statement:

To provide emotional and educational support, referral for liver transplant and "HOPE" that you can be well again.

If you or a loved one has been told that their liver failure is fatal without any referral
for transplant, we can provide proper transplant referral contact information.

If you need help with your medical insurance, obtaining it, changing it, etc. or need help
battling Social Security to get SSDI or SSI, we can provide referrals for you to get help.

Patients and their caregivers/family members, who get important help
and information also, meet on the second Monday of each month at

11 A.M. at the

Portola Community Center
45480 Portola Ave
Palm Desert, CA 92260
