Lorrinda Gray Davis, President of TRIO (Transplant Recipients International Organization), shares her journey from liver transplant recipient to national patient advocate and policy leader. After receiving a life-saving transplant in 2018, Lorrinda channeled her professional background in large-scale leadership into advancing access, education, and equity in transplant care. She discusses how TRIO supports patients and caregivers through programs focused on emotional well-being, peer connection, and informed decision-making. A key focus of the conversation is the power of patient-led support. Lorrinda highlights daily and weekly peer programs that connect pre- and post-transplant patients to share experiences, build confidence, and navigate the emotional and practical realities of transplant. These programs help reduce isolation and provide a consistent, accessible support system for individuals who may not have local resources. The discussion also explores the complexity of the transplant journey, including topics like caregiver strain, recipient guilt, and the importance of addressing difficult emotions openly.
