Second Chance Support Group

The Second Chance Support Group is an independent group which provides education and support to liver, kidney, and pancreas transplant patients and their caregivers.  We share the knowledge of experienced patients in both formal group and relaxed social settings. 

We host weekly meetings each Tuesday at Mayo Clinic.  All pre- and post-transplant kidney, liver, and pancreas patients and their caregivers are invited to attend.* 

Meetings

Tuesdays at 11:00am 

Room 1050

Cannaday Building  

Mayo Clinic Jacksonville  

*With the current conditions and precautions concerning COVID-19, all in-person support group meetings have been temporarily cancelled.  Please contact Kristin Corlett for information about online Zoom meetings. 

For patients and their caregivers who are awaiting transplant, members of Second Chance like to promote what we call "actively waiting."  So we host numerous social events, including lunch after each weekly meeting, a monthly potluck, and other group outings.  Please join us at our Tuesday meetings and on Facebook to find out more.

Our Facebook group is open to anyone who has attended one of our support group meetings in person or online, and is either a liver, kidney, or pancreas transplant patient or their caregiver.  Members must also be either in the process of being evaluated for transplant, be listed for transplant, or have been transplanted at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville.  

The Facebook group is private and you must ask to join.  Simply log in to Facebook, search for "Second Chance Support Group of Jacksonville" and click "Join Group."
