2020 OHSU Virtual Transplant Picnic

The Annual OHSU Transplant Picnic is a very special event to all of us at OHSU & the VA as well as to our patients, living donors, and families of deceased donors. We are sad to have to cancel this year's event due to COVID-19 concerns. Your health and safety is our first priority and we will miss seeing you this July.

We can still celebrate virtually! Use this page to interact with the transplant team, patients, and families. Please watch the video message from the OHSU Transplant Team as well as highlights from our Celebrating 60 Years of Kidney Transplantation at OHSU event from last fall.

You can view and submit photos and messages to be shared on this page.  Also, check out the Flickr account to view picnic photos from previous years.

We will miss you and look forward to a healthy, safe picnic in the future.

Send us your photos!

Each year we create a photo album of all the photos taken during the Transplant Picnic. This year we would like you to email your photos to us so we can create an album for our Virtual Transplant Picnic. We'd love to see you! Please feel free to include family, friends, and pets in your photos. Be aware this photo album will be viewable to the public so only share photos you consent to sharing on our public website.
