تحدث المجتمع
واستمعنا
ليس من غير المألوف أن يشعر الأمريكيون من أصل أفريقي بعدم الثقة في نظام الرعاية الصحية والتشكيك في عملية التبرع بالأعضاء والأنسجة. أطلقنا برنامج Let's Talk للتواصل مع تلك المجتمعات ، حيث من المرجح أن يحتاج الناس إلى زراعة أعضاء ، ولكن من غير المرجح أن يسجلوا كمتبرعين. تحدثنا مع الناس في المجتمع وشجعناهم على مشاركة قصصهم ، وكسر المفاهيم الخاطئة ، ومعالجة الأساطير وتشجيع جيرانهم وعائلاتهم وأصدقائهم على الاشتراك كمتبرعين.
في الولايات المتحدة ، هناك أكثر من 100000 شخص ينتظرون الحصول على عضو منقذ للحياة ، ويمثل حوالي 60 بالمائة منهم أقليات عرقية وإثنية. في ميشيغان ، حوالي 40 بالمائة من المرضى على قائمة الانتظار. هذا نقاش يمكن أن ينقذ الأرواح.
