Lung Transplant

"I feel like I'm 16 years old. I can't be still." -- Donna Williams, 59, Cleveland. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) left Donna exhausted from even the simplest of daily activities, such as combing her hair, talking and cooking. After undergoing a double-lung transplant, Donna enjoys roller-skating, babysitting her granddaughter, running errands for her neighbor and exercising at the local YMCA. In 2009, surgeons at Cleveland Clinic performed 157 lung transplants, setting an international record for lungs transplanted in a single year.
