Bilateral Lung Transplant | Ben's Story

After a family member noticed abnormalities in Ben Heller’s fingernails, a medical evaluation later revealed he had an aggressive and complex form of lung disease that would require a lung transplant. Ben ultimately listed with Johns Hopkins, quickly underwent surgery and was released within 10 days of his successful bilateral lung transplant.
