ALF is committed to advancing living donor liver transplant and breaking down barriers to living donation. That’s why we’re so proud to be the first liver organization to join American Society of Transplantation’s Living Donor Circle of Excellence and become a strategic partner. The Living Donor Circle of Excellence celebrates employers which implement internal policies that provide salary support to their employees who choose to become living organ donors.

Today we announce a new Project Echo program for healthcare providers that will bring treatment and prevention best practices for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (now called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease) to non-liver experts.

Within this network, participants will gain support and mentorship, enhance their skills, and connect with leaders in the field all at no cost.
