Established in 1991, the Sacramento Area Liver Transplant Support Group is a self-help support group.  Participants in this support group are liver transplant recipients (post-transplant), those waiting for liver transplants (pre-transplant) and family members or care-givers of the pre and post-transplant patient.

There is no fee for attending meetings or for being active in this group.

What We Do
