At Mayo Clinic, lung transplant specialists work together throughout your care. Transplant pulmonologists and surgeons guide your medical and surgical care, while your transplant coordinator helps keep you informed and connected. Other experts join your care based on your health needs and where you are in the transplant process.

The mix of people involved can change as you move from evaluation through waiting, surgery, recovery, and long-term follow-up. Your team works together, with you at the center, so you understand who is involved and how each person contributes to your care.

Specialized care that adapts to your needs.

At Mayo Clinic, experts specialize in different parts of lung transplant care. As your needs change, the people involved in your care may change too. That means you have access to the right expertise at each stage of the transplant process. All together. All on one team. All focused on you.

Your team may change at different stages:

Your coordinator is often a key point of contact. They help you understand instructions, keep you informed, and connect you with the right person when you need additional help.

Different expertise, one care team.

Each person on your transplant team looks at a different part of your care. These perspectives come together around the same action plan.
One care team for the right care path.

More than a transplant — a team for the journey.

After years of waiting for a heart-lung transplant, Tara found the support she needed to face uncertainty and embrace life after transplant.

You can get physical care lots of places, but what you get at Mayo is so much more. The staff are there because they truly care about their patients. At Mayo, you know you're in the best hands possible.”
Tara Kline
Heart-lung transplant recipient
