Upcoming Events
June 18, 2026: An Evening with Thupten Jinpa, PhD
Thupten Jinpa will explore the deeper dimensions of compassion—its role in how we care for one another, how it shapes the practice of medicine and why it matters so profoundly in moments of vulnerability, loss and shared humanity. Drawing on these themes, he will examine the particular relevance of compassion in the context of organ donation and transplantation, where the boundaries of generosity, grief, and the human experience converge. Registration opens soon!

Date TBD: Living Donor Workshop with Nancy Marlin, PhD
“How to Find a Living Donor” is a 90-minute, small-group interactive session that provides education about living kidney donation and, most importantly, actively engages participants in the process required to find a living donor.
The workshop is led by Nancy Marlin, PhD, a polycystic kidney disease (PKD) patient and recipient of a kidney transplant from an unrelated living donor. Having experienced the entire transplant process herself, she is extremely sensitive to the emotional vulnerability of people who are often desperate, frustrated and discouraged about finding a donor. The goal of this program is to move patients beyond their passive confusion or denial and share with them a pathway as to how they can move forward toward transplant.
