Second Wind Lung Transplant Association, Inc. was formed on April 17,
1995, by a small group of people who wanted to provide information about
lung transplantation to others. At that time lung transplantation was
evolving from an experimental and rarely applied treatment to becoming a
more common therapy for end-stage lung disease The slogan "Support
through Service" was adopted, as was our mission statement:
To improve
the quality of life for lung transplant recipients, lung surgery
candidates, people with related pulmonary concerns and their families,
by providing support, love, advocacy, education, information and
guidance through a spirit of service, adding years to their lives and
life to their years.
Today, Second Wind is an international organization with over 400
members scattered throughout the United States and in Australia, South
Africa, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
