Caring Breaths Financial Assistance Program

Having a lung transplant can be a very costly process. Although the cost of the surgery itself is covered, there are many other costs associated with the process. It is important to consider what your plan might be for funding these related costs. There are several programs to help ease this financial burden including Lung Saskatchewan’s Caring Breaths Financial Assistance Program.
