We are so proud that our perfusionists and ECMO specialists support the lung transplant team at one of the best transplant hospitals in the country! See how the team at UF Shands made a difference in Bryan’s life.

As a child, Bryan Klemm was diagnosed with a progressive, end-stage lung disease that would someday require him to get a transplant. After nearly 25 years of disease progression and a declining quality of life, he was referred to UF Health to be matched for a double-lung transplant. To celebrate Doctors’ Day on March 30, Bryan and his mother, Julie, want to share their immense appreciation with Dr. Machuca and the entire transplant team. If you could tell your doctor one thing, what would it be? Celebrate your UF Health physicians this Doctors’ Day. Visit giving.UFHealth.org/doctorsday.
