Welcome to our Website
Who We Are
Our organization consists primarily of persons who have had or are waiting for lung or
heart/lung transplants at the University of Minnesota Transplant Center or is a family member of
a person who has had or needs a lung or heart/lung transplant. Our underlying diseases are
many, but we have all been diagnosed with end-stage lung or heart disease requiring a
life-saving transplant.
The majority of our Board of Directors come from this unique group.

How We Started
We are a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was formally organized in December, 2003.
Prior to that, the primary intent was to educate our members and keep them connected via our
newsletter. In 2003 it became apparent that the needs of our group went beyond the
dissemination of information. We were formed "so we may walk side by side with others
needing heart, lung or heart lung transplants so they never have to walk this journey alone."
