 Read how:

• The Mayo Clinic Transplant Center used the Toolkit to improve understanding among transplant candidates.
• The Kentucky Area Health Education Center used the Toolkit to train physicians, dentists, dental hygienists, nurses, and physician assistants in private practice, hospitals, and public health department.
