Patients & Visitors

“I can breathe easily, I can walk every day, and I'm chasing the grandkids around. I’m able to enjoy life, and I have my donor and their family to thank for this priceless gift and opportunity.”

“I surprise myself with what I can achieve!”

“Next to having my own children, this is the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done. Knowing I was able to help take away this family’s fears and give them hope meant the world to me.”

“This is the best thing that ever happened to me. I’m blessed and thankful to be living a normal, enjoyable life.”

“I choose to look at everything as I’m alive and this is what I have to do to stay healthy and I’m going to do it.”

“After being told I’m a walking miracle, I understand I’m lucky to be alive and I’m still here for a reason. I want to be a light for others and give hope to those going through a similar experience.”

“We saw a quote on the wall at Cleveland Clinic that said patients should be treated like family members. Those were not just words. Dr. Svensson and all of Cleveland Clinic’s caregivers really did.”

“From the first responders and flight medics to the doctors, nurses and physical therapists – everyone who took care of me was wonderful throughout this whole process. I’m back to doing the things I love.”

"The package itself went beyond what I expected. It was really comprehensive, and I appreciated the personal touch of having direct conversations with Simon and the other specialists."
