Specialists in each area provide the expertise vital to successful transplantation. Having spent their careers studying, treating and understanding the functioning of the specific organ, as well as the network of subtle interactions between the organ and the rest of the body, these physicians are able to precisely assess the evolving condition of the patient. They make careful assessments of the body s reaction to the transplant and monitor and adjust the anti-rejection medications that truly make the transplant viable. At any time, patients and their families can speak with someone who knows, someone who cares and someone who can help immediately regardless of the issue or problem. We believe that the deep personal bonds that develop between coordinators and patients are essential to our work and crucial to the overall success of the program.
Transplantation is a complex, long-term process of which the actual surgery is only one element.
We see transplant candidates as patients and as people with a broad range of specific needs that must be addressed for the transplant to be successful.
