UCSF Marks Milestone with 500th Transplant in Heart and Lung Transplant

"We're glad to reach this significant point in our program because it means that a great number of patients are receiving improvements to their health that could not otherwise be achieved without an organ transplant," said Charles Hoopes, MD, director of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation at UCSF since 2002. "UCSF has a highly experienced transplant support team and is dedicated to research focused on continued improvement in patient survival and outcomes for transplanted organs."
