NATIONAL DESTINATION FOR LUNG TRANSPLANT

MORE EXPERIENCE. BETTER OUTCOMES.

Each year, thousands of patients around the country receive a lung transplant to treat advanced stage lung disease — and more patients turn to the Temple Lung Center than any other program in the country.

As a national leader in volume and outcomes for lung transplantation, it’s no wonder patients from all over the country seek care from our transplant team. And with expanded eligibility criteria, patients who have been turned down at other institutions may find hope — and a second chance — at Temple.

Temple is a national leader in both volume and outcomes, exceeding national standards in post-transplant recovery and survival rates.
Patients turned down for transplant at other hospitals may be eligible at Temple, including people with higher age, a high BMI or those with other medical issues.
Temple’s transplant team includes renowned pulmonologists Drs. Gerard Criner and Francis Cordova, and transplant surgeon Yoshiya Toyoda.
