Emory Lung Transplant Highlights & Differentiators

Georgia’s Only Lung Transplant Program: In 1993, Emory established the only Georgia lung transplant center, with the primary mission of serving Georgia residents suffering from otherwise untreatable complex lung diseases. To date, Emory has performed over 500 lung transplant procedures.

Multidisciplinary Team of Specialists: Emory's team of lung transplant specialists includes pulmonologists, transplant surgeons, cardiologists, transplant coordinators and nurses, working together to provide superior care to all our lung transplant patients.

Commitment to Transplant Research: Our commitment to research, education and patient care is reflected in the success of our program. Emory's highly-esteemed staff of physicians is at the forefront of lung transplant research. They are currently investigating immune tolerance as well as end-stage pulmonary vascular disease and experimental methods for effective gene therapy.

Patient-Centered Care: For the second time, Emory Transplant Center has been awarded the prestigious Patient Centered Specialty Practice designation by the National Committee for Quality Assurance. This is the highest level of recognition a specialty practice can receive and is only awarded to health care facilities that excel in the delivery of exceptional quality patient-centered care.
