The Transplant Experience Journal was made possible by contributions from an anonymous donor and from the Boston Children’s Hospital Department of Psychiatry. Dr. David DeMaso, Editor, Dr. Nicole Eldrige Marcus, former Project Director, Carolyn Snell, former Project Coordinator, and Madelyn Labella, former Project Coordinator, created the Transplant Experience Journal for families facing child and adolescent Transplant.
