Dr. Raymond Givens discusses his study, which found that the wealthy are more likely to receive organs for transplant. Experts attribute these findings to the ability of wealthy patients to travel and get listed on multiple states' transplant lists.

The United Network for Organ Sharing reports that they are invested in addressing the geographic inequalities organ recipients face while waiting for a transplant.Click on the above link to access the Interactive eBook.
