The Transplant Center
We attribute much of our success to a multidisciplinary
approach to patient care. From the time of the first
referral contact through the first year after
transplantation, patients follow pathways designed to carry
them through the healthcare continuum as smoothly as
possible. Our "on-site" team consists of thoracic
surgeons, pulmonologists, nurse coordinators, dietitians,
rehabilitation specialists, social workers, respiratory
therapists, financial representatives, chaplains,
pharmacists, and home-healthcare specialists. As our
patients recover from transplant surgery, we strive to
maintain regular contact with the referring and primary-care
physicians who will be sharing the care of these complex
patients with our Lung Transplant Program staff.
