The heart transplant team is the strength of our program and encompasses all of the specialists involved in treating and caring for patients.  These individuals collaborate to ensure each patient receives the care and information necessary for a successful outcome.  The transplant coordinator is the main point of contact and he or she will be completely familiar with each patient’s needs.
