Many of you may already know Marc Schweitzer—a respected healthcare architect whose work has helped shape more thoughtful, patient-centered environments across our industry. As a recipient of the Planetree Lifetime Achievement Award, Marc has spent his career advancing healthcare design in ways that truly impact people’s lives.

Today, Marc is facing a very personal challenge. He is living with kidney failure caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease and is currently undergoing daily dialysis while awaiting a transplant. A living kidney donor would not only improve his quality of life, but give him the opportunity to continue contributing to the field he cares so deeply about—and to spend more time with his family and community.

Like so many in healthcare, Marc has dedicated his career to improving outcomes for others. Now, he needs our help.

Even if donation is not something you can consider, simply sharing his story can make a meaningful difference. You never know who might be able to step forward.
