The Kountz Callender Drew Transplant symposium is an annual event that assembles the health system community. The information shared is to aid health professionals on numerous levels to provide the best and equitable care to patients and families in the SE Michigan area. The symposium is designed to promote an exchange of ideas on healthcare disparities and their impact on organ and tissue donation. National and local experts highlight ways to engage physicians, health professionals and community leaders to become champions in saving lives. Presenters examine the roles and responsibilities of professional and public education to encourage strategies to increase the number of organs available for transplantation and to promote healthier communities. This year’s theme is Transplantation: Reflective Voices, Riveting Results and Revolutionary Future.
