Transplant Liaison - Memphis, TN

Transplant Liaison

The Transplant Liaison plays a vital role in guiding End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD), and waitlisted patients through the transplant process. Acting as a key advocate, the Transplant Liaison ensures seamless support from referral to transplant completion, working closely with the market Transplant Provider partners, patients, care partners, and healthcare teams to facilitate access to transplantation.

Serving as a bridge between healthcare providers, transplant centers, and the Integrated Kidney Care (IKC) team, the Transplant Liaison supports transplant evaluations, optimizes wait listing processes, and promotes living donor awareness. By addressing barriers to transplant, the Transplant Liaison helps mitigate delays and drives optimization of the transplant process.

Supported by the IKC team, the Transplant Liaison collaborates with nephrologists, dialysis providers, transplant teams, and community organizations to enhance patient education, streamline care coordination, and improve transplant outcomes. This team-based approach aims to expand access to transplantation for CKD and ESKD patients, improve wait listing rates, and ultimately drive better transplant outcomes.
