About
Transplant Team Arizona, Inc. (TTAI) is an organization composed of transplant recipients, donor family members, and living donors. We grew out of the Arizona Kidney Foundations, Team Arizona, and became our own 501 (c) (3) in 2002. We were originally established to assist transplant recipients and donor families attend the National Kidney Foundations U.S. Transplant Games.
What is Transplant Team AZ?
Transplant Team Arizona, Inc. (TTAI) at its inception was known only as Team Arizona. Team Arizona grew from a national program of the National Kidney Foundation and its Arizona Affiliate as a vehicle to promote the success of donation and transplantation through Team Arizona’s participation in the U. S. Transplant Games.
TTAI is an ongoing media, support and a most positive element for help in the transplant community. Our team of recipients, living donors, supporters, donor family members, and practitioners get to see a bigger slice of our transplant world.
TTAI is expanding to an organization that is there for transplant candidates, transplant recipients, donor families, and living donors. Our members have been candidates, recipients, and donors who have experience in the process of transplantation.
Our first expansion is a support group in the East Valley (Mesa area) which is open to anyone that has received a transplant, is waiting for a transplant, a donor family member, living donor, or a transplant candidate. All are welcome. As time permits and facilities become available we will have support groups in other areas of the Valley.
