    Multicultural communities are disproportionately in need of lifesaving organ transplants – especially kidneys. Currently, 58 percent of the U.S. transplant waiting list is comprised of multicultural patients. Donate Life America (DLA) and the Association for Multicultural Affairs in Transplantation (AMAT) created ECHO Donate Life to focus on the importance of donation and transplantation in multicultural communities.
