This clinic takes place every Thursday afternoon. It is for patients with primary pulmonary hypertension and other forms of severe pulmonary hypertension, including patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome and scleroderma. Since the arrival of Zobair Younossi, MD, from Cleveland Clinics to head up the new Center for Liver Diseases at Inova Fairfax Hospital, we have been designated as a Clinical Resource Center for Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency patients. Both groups meet on a monthly basis under the direction of transplant social worker, Jane Harrison. Attendance at the pre-support group meetings is mandatory for our listed patients because we believe that these groups are an integral part of the educational process.
Family members are welcome to attend both meetings.
Patients who were transplanted elsewhere are welcome to attend our post-meetings.
