FAIR Foundation Mission
FAIR promotes policies and activities that increase the availability, access and health equity of solid organ transplantation in the United States through patient education, support and advocacy.
Did you know? 1 in 10 people will get some form of liver disease in their lifetime and 1 in 7 people will suffer from chronic kidney disease in this country. And someday, they may need a transplant, but there is an organ shortage in this country. The wait for a kidney can be 7 to 10 years on the east and west coasts. The goal is to prevent liver and kidney disease. But, if someone needs a life saving transplant — we want to make sure everyone who needs a transplant gets one regardless of race, income level or where they live. Donate to the effort! |
AdvocacyFAIR supports the Acuity Circle Model for the allocation of livers to candidates within 150, 250, or 500 nautical miles (nm) of donor hospitals before offering them nationally to allow for efficient placement of donor organs and to avoid organ wastage.
