The Mission of the TRANSPLANT COMMUNITY is a united effort to support UC Health in making the whole process of an organ transplant from the pre to the post a comfortable experience. We are diverse and dedicated individuals who support and recognize the UC Health Transplant program as a leader in its field. Our group consists of donor families, organ recipients, organ donor families, and staff. Our Mission is to constantly develop ways to improve everyone’s quality of life touched by organ transplants through awareness, education, financial support, and advocacy.
This June, we're focusing on the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act of 2023 (TROA), a crucial piece of legislation that is heading for markup this week! TROA is designed to expand Medicare Part D to cover FDA-approved anti-obesity medications and intensive behavioral therapy, addressing a key driver of metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) which affects 80-100 million Americans.
Read our latest blog post on why TROA is essential for public health and how it affects liver disease management and take action.
As we prepare to meet with legislators virtually or in person to discuss critical liver health policies, your voice is more important than ever. We've already begun our series of training, equipping advocates with the necessary tools to effectively communicate our message. If you haven't signed up yet, now is the perfect time to join ALF Advocacy and make a difference in the lives of those affected by liver disease.
