Abstract
The Patient Visitor Program enables newly diagnosed renal patients facing dialysis or transplantation to meet with someone who has experienced that stress and dealt with it constructively. The authors describe the program and the workshops used to impart specific peer-support skills to patients who volunteer.Keywords
