Lung Transplant Support

Did You Know?

Atlantic Canadians needing a lung transplant must travel to Toronto or Montreal to await donor lungs.

Our Lung Transplant Support Group is here to help patients and their families navigate the many challenges of out-of-province surgery.

From pre-op testing, to navigating your provincial health coverage, to accommodation recommendations and cost savings air-travel tips, we have you covered every step of the way.

Support is available by phone or email

Our Lung Transplant Support Fund is available to New Brunswick residents to help offset costs that are not covered by Medicare.

“NB Lung helped me navigate the complex journey for a transplant, all the paperwork needing filled out for various reasons, directing me to the right government departments and calling on my behalf to expedite the process.”

Stigma about lung diseases can cause patients to delay talking to their health professional, which can delay diagnosis and treatment. NB Lung thanks these New Brunswickers for sharing their experiences with us.

NB Lung has been helping New Brunswickers breathe easier since 1933.
Thank you for your support!
