The Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Lung Transplant Program offers a wealth of clinical and research experience and an array of valuable resources. In 1988, Barnes-Jewish became one of the first hospitals in the United States with a program fully dedicated to lung transplantation. The hospital also was the first in Missouri to perform a simultaneous heart and lung transplant.
Each person on the lung transplant team is an expert in a specific area of transplantation. Together, they bring their expertise, knowledge and understanding to each patient in our program.
