The Living Bank offers an optimal choice, a fully independent living donor advocate, from outside the transplant program, to protect the best interests of the living donor, ensuring their decision to donate is informed and free from coercion.

Our licensed clinical transplant social workers serve as Independent Living Donor Advocates (ILDAs) in the Texas Medical Center’s live donor transplant programs and to distant site locations throughout the U.S. via telehealth.
