Heart Transplant Process

Being diagnosed with end-stage cardiac disease can be a confusing and frightening time. We understand that you and your family may have many questions. That is why we have a designated transplant team member who is available to talk with you about your disease, various treatment options and which options are best suited to treat your disease. In addition, our team of doctors, nurses, technicians, dietitians, social workers and many others are available to provide you with care and support throughout the  transplant process, during your hospital stay and even after you return home.

The following pages will help to explain the transplant process along with the benefits, risks and procedures involved with heart transplantation.
