(AKA: NY Presbyterian Hospital) This is the only Medicare approved Lung Transplant Center in New York State, and patients come from all over the tri-state area of NY, NJ, and Conn.

I haven't been waiting long (a couple of months), and am told that I'm now pretty high up on the list for my height/blood type. 27 w/ CF Listed for Double-Lung Transplant http://amatteroflifeandbreath.blogspot.com/ Joan G Member Username: Jogalmax Post Number: 5 Registered: 02-2008 Posted on Monday, December 14, 2009 - 05:49 pm:    I had a Kidney Transplant 11/18/06 at this hospital. I was listed at Mass General in Boston, Robert Woods Johnson in New Jersey, and University of Penn Hospital in Philadelphia. I am 64 now but have had issues with kidney problems since I was 3 years old and had Nephrosis. I was 2 weeks away from dialysis when I got the call. Since I live in NYC it really worked out very well. Everyone was wonderful and the follow-up care worked out also. The 1st few months after transplant you are watched very closely and able to call your coordinator and ask even the simplest of questions. Joan Galkin
