Wescoe Foundation for Pulmonary Fibrosis: Lung Transplant Mentorship Program (LTMP) 2020!

Wescoe Foundation for Pulmonary Fibrosis: Lung Transplant Mentorship Program 2020!

Our Lung Transplant Mentorship Program (LTMP) is held every last Tuesday of each month from 2-3.30 pm! Our goal for 2020 is to grow and develop our Lung Transplant Mentorship Program for patients and their families inquiring about pre, peri, and post LT. Having a lung transplant is a very personal choice with a lot of questions, thoughts and emotions. Our hope for our program is to benefit patients and families by learning about these important topics:

Decision Making for LT
Evaluation Process of LT
What is the criteria for a LT?
Understanding Medications
Understanding terminology (e.g. UNOS, LAS, roles of LT Coordinator, social worker etc.)
Financial Aspects..how do you get support?
Gift of Life Family House
Gift Life Donor program..what is involved in organ donation process?
Caring for the Caregiver
Nutrition
Having a lung transplant: My New Normal
Pre, Peri, Post Transplant: How do I stay healthy?
