Title: Opinions needed from living donors
Post by: okarol on November 19, 2008, 04:48:26 PM
Please pass this on:

Dear Living Donors:

The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) has a policy of reviewing its position papers every five years. In 2003, the National Board of Directors adopted a policy regarding financial incentives for organ donation. That policy was in total opposition to any form of incentives (for both living and deceased donation).

We are now in the process of reviewing this policy and reaching out to our constituents to gauge their opinion on this complex, controversial issue. Many of you joined our Webinar on this topic and provided your comments to us. (Thank you!)

If you missed this 35-minute presentation and would like to hear the replay, visit www.kidney.org/survey and click on "Watch the Webinar".

Most importantly, after the Webinar, please share your comments with us by visiting the same link: www.kidney.org/survey and selecting "Click here to share your opinion".

Please share your comments with us by Monday, December 1.

THANK YOU!

Jennifer Martin
NKF
