Being told your child needs a lung transplant is something no parent wants to hear. That’s why on October 22 at 7pm EST, we have invited Dr. David Moreno McNeill of Texas Children’s Hospital to provide a foundational understanding of pediatric lung transplant for anyone currently facing this new challenge. He will be joined by Amanda Hutson, a parent and caregiver for her 13-year old daughter, who will share her experience. Register today for this special event in celebration of National Children’s Health Month!
We know that together, we can help increase education about Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS), and, in turn, help speed the development of potential new treatments and facilitate understanding of the cause of the condition. Join us as we unite for BOS Education Day.
