Cooperative
Care
Although transplant procedures take place in the hospital, a patient
can move to The Lied Transplant Center for recovery and to participate
in cooperative care once they are ambulatory, or able to move around.
Cooperative care is a revolutionary approach that allows patients and
their care partners to play an active role in the treatment and recovery
process following transplantation, cancer care and treatment of other
illnesses. Care partners, usually a family member or friend, assist in
all aspects of the recovery process including administering medications,
monitoring health changes, attending informational classes and more.
The cooperative care environment allows patients and care partners to
learn the skills they will need when they return home. Care partners
and patients stay in a comfortable home-like setting that includes a
private bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchenette and two TV/VCRs.
