The Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR) is proud to be a member of the Lung Transplant Collaborative, a group of patient advocacy and healthcare organizations working together to advance awareness, education, support, and access for the lung transplant community.
Together, the Collaborative has been nominated for the inaugural Prix Galien Patient First Award in Honor of Michael J. Fox for its work on Lung Transplant Awareness Day. We’re proud to stand alongside our fellow Collaborative members: Lung Bioengineering (a subsidiary of United Therapeutics Corp.), American Thoracic Society, Lung Transplant Foundation, National Scleroderma Foundation, PF Warriors - Pulmonary Fibrosis, IPF, other Rare Lung Diseases, Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation , Pulmonary Hypertension Association , Taylor's Gift Foundation, Transplant Life Foundation, Transplant Recipients International Organization (TRIO), and Wescoe Foundation for Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Observed annually on October 9, Lung Transplant Awareness Day is a national initiative to raise awareness, promote education, and empower advocacy around lung transplantation.
For many people living with advanced lung disease, a lung transplant may be the only path forward. This day helps share stories, connect communities, expand education, and advocate for greater access, research, and support.
Join us on October 9 for Lung Transplant Awareness Day and help raise awareness for a future full of breath and possibility.
Thank you to the Galien Foundation for this recognition and to our partners for their dedication to making a difference!
