Your Patient Journey

We take a whole person approach to providing transplant care. Our team provide personal and individualized care to the patients during each phase of transplantation.

You will receive educational materials on transplantation during the different phases of the transplant process. Educational classes are also offered pre-transplant and during your hospitalization. The educational process continues through the post-transplant phase in our transplant clinic where we will monitor and support your progress.

Support Groups

We offer support groups for patients, families, friends and caregivers as part of our whole person care approach. During meetings, patients share their experiences before, during and after transplantation. These support groups are offered in both English and Spanish.
