Programs described in its return (2)
- $1,809 spent. Public Education & Outreach Educating and supporting Texans about liver health and liver disease is core to our mission. In 2025 we met with hundreds of Texans across the state to share life-saving information about liver health, disease prevention, and early signs to watch for. * We attended 5 health fairs and visited a number of schools. At each health fair, we distributed educational coloring books related to liver health and information on nutrition and liver health. * We participated in a panel discussion with Salud America and UT Health San Antonio on the importance of patient advocacy and living liver donation and launched a virtual support group for living liver donors. We also reinstituted Doc Talks, a virtual panel series, with a session entitled Living Liver Donation 101: What to Expect, What to Ask, and What No One Tells You. * We started a transplant recipient virtual support group and a support group for liver disease caregivers. * Nearly 100 people received free access to liver scans that in some cases identified liver issues to address with their physicians. For these, we partnered with Pinnacle Research, who provided the fibroscans. * We delivered hope, comfort, and practical support to liver patients, adult and pediatric, as well as caregivers, all across Texas through our Bravery Bag program.
- $1,650 spent. Pediatric * During the year-end, 10 transplant patients received a special holiday care package. * We distributed 62 Sugary Drink Posters, which are educational tools to help raise awareness of how much sugar many common drinks contain. The goal is to use the poster as a conversation started about the linkage between a high sugar diet and chronic disease, including liver disease, in children. * In partnership with BARE, Inc, we have an early detection program and distributed 222 Early Detection Tool Packets to every newborn nursery in Texas to encourage providers to screen infants for cholestatic liver disease and understand when to refer to a specialist.
