In The Community. . .The Transplant Community
- Nearly 100,000 people are waiting for organ transplantation
- Every 12 minutes, another American is added to the national transplant waiting list
- Every day 18 people die waiting for transplantable organs.
"Almost ten years and a kidney
transplant took place between these
two pictures.
While we maximize charitable impact
on the various causes our clients
support, The Justis Group has chosen
to support the transplant community.
An investment in an individual is
ultimately an investment in all of us.I
was blessed to be in position to take
one person off the wait list."

While we support the transplant community, we also support those waiting for transplant and strive to keep
people off of the wait list. Below is a list of great resources for people interested in more information
regarding transplant, organ donation (living and deceased), and kidney disease. While there are many
organizations and resources, this list is a great place to start.
Having been through the process we always welcome e-mails or phone calls.
