Lung Transplant: Patient Education from University of Colorado Hospital

The transition from chronic illness to having a healthy transplanted lung(s) calls for many psychological and social lifestyle changes. It is important for you to understand both the Lung Transplant Process and how to stay healthy after the transplant so that you can return to a normal life.

Lung Transplant: Getting a Second Opinion

A lung transplant is a major surgery. It is important to feel comfortable with both your doctors and the staff, as you will spend much time with them. University of Colorado Hospital is happy to offer a second opinion and to work with you if you choose to come to our hospital for your surgery.

All first appointments must be initiated by a referring doctor.
