October 8, 2010 – 20 years ago, Howell Graham underwent then-risky, double-lung transplant surgery for cystic fibrosis at ºÚÁÏÍø Hospitals. He now celebrates breathing free for two decades.

ºÚÁÏÍø surgeons Thomas Egan, MD, who performed the original operation, and Benjamin Haithcock, MD, surgical director of ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s lung transplant program, comment on how the procedure has improved over time while the risks have decreased. Graham hopes to raise awareness for organ donation and new techniques developed by ºÚÁÏÍø surgeons.
