Dr. Jordan Whitson
Overview
I do transplant pulmonology and pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is a disease of the blood vessels between the heart and the lungs. I work in the lung transplant clinic, which is for patients who have end-stage lung disease who don’t have any other options for therapy. It gives them a second chance. I love the idea of seeing patients before and after transplant. Before transplant, many patients are on oxygen or in wheelchairs. After the transplant, it’s amazing to see them transform into people who can run marathons or hike mountains. The process of lung transplant can be a long and difficult journey, but it is very worthwhile. It is a lot of work that pays off for the patient in the end. I am from the Midwest and came to North Carolina with my family. You can’t beat the weather, and it feels like home.
