Lung Program

One of the Shortest Wait Times in the Nation

Our patients are on the wait list for an average of 45 days before receiving their transplant. Every patient referred to the Lung Program benefits from our strong history of research, education, creative innovation, comprehensive medical expertise and surgical excellence. Our team has changed the way lung transplants are performed around the world. From improving the function of donor lungs (SALT protocol), to developing new surgical methods, to new treatments for rejection, our team is dedicated to providing the best care available for our patients.

Please refer to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients for our most current outcomes.

In addition to transplantation, we offer many other disease management options. Please view our Services page for more information.

You probably have many questions about lung transplantation and the process necessary to receive a new lung. A comprehensive patient handbook is available.

To refer a patient for an evaluation, please view our Referral Criteria.
