The Heart Exchange exists for the benefit of transplant patients (Heart, Kidney, Liver, and Lung)

Members are transplant recipients, assist device recipients, those in need of transplants or devices, their families and friends and the nurses who work with them. Its members are also volunteers...  We’ve been where you are. We know what its like to be told, “You need a transplant.”

 

We know what its like to wait and we know what its like when the wait is over. The life ahead of you can be wonderful. And we would like to share our perspective with you.  Just contact us or If you are a patient at CHI St. Luke's Health–Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center in Houston, Texas, just tell your nurse that you’d like us to visit and we will be there.
