As stated on the Lung Transplant Foundation (LTF) website, the Lung Transplant Foundation Joseph J. Carter Mentorship Program was founded to provide support to patients and caregivers throughout the lung transplant process. Their trained mentors are passionate about encouraging those going through a lung transplant to be better able to handle the demands of this journey. Well-supported patients and caregivers lead to greater success for everyone.
LTF matches mentees with mentors by commonalities: disease, age, and transplant center, when possible; therefore, BNL encourages transplant recipients (and their caregivers) who received their lung transplant at the M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Medical Center (UMMC) to become mentors in LTF’s program.
