About Us

TRIO Maryland is a non-profit membership organization working to improve the quality of life for transplant recipients, candidates and their families. Donor families and others interested in transplant may also join. By sharing personal experiences, chapter members complement the counseling provided by healthcare professionals.

TRIO’s symbol is the Tree of Life.  With its intertwining branches, it represents the intertwining of the lives of two human beings, the donor and the recipient, through the Gift of Life.  Green the color of growth and new life, was chosen for the tree to reinforce the new beginning transplantation gives to the recipient.
