On July 1, 2019, AST President-Elect, Richard Formica, MD, was invited to a conversation with the White House health policy team on kidney disease. Dr. Formica joined leaders from other organizations to discuss perspectives on topics including changes that should be made to prevent the progression of kidney disease, ways to promote alternatives to center-based dialysis, and how to increase transplant rates.
The AST continues to advocate for the issues that impact the transplant community. For more information, view our key position statements.
