Hi Cathy, from my experience, the transplant case managers at the insurance company I worked for was very involved in all the logistics in this kind of situation. Assuming the care team supports the move, her transplant case manager should be researching and planning all that is required. Lots of moving parts….

Hi, I’m waiting to get my website up and running so I’m not eligible for the ADL membership as of yet but I do have an active Facebook page where people can book appts.
