Lung Transplant Coordinator Staff Complete

It has been nearly a year since we lost several of our coordinators.  It has been a long frustrasting year for many of the lung transplant patients and undoubtedly the remaining staff also.  The last of the six Lung Transplant Coordinators has been hired and will soon be ready to assume her role.   It is expected that the transplant patients will again be assigned to a specific coordinator to oversee their care and contact with the Lung Transplant Team.  As more information becomes available it will be published here.  Check back often.
