The organization established the 1st Tampa Bay Lung Transplant Home, the Butterfly House with multiple small apartments to assist in providing temporary living quarters for Tampa General Hospital’s out-of-town and out-of-state patients and their families during initial evaluation, clinic visits, checkups, transplant episode and post-operative care.
A growing number of lung patients are expected to come to Tampa from all over the United States for various transplant-related procedures as more organs become available to the hospital’s surgery center from medical sources. One Breath at a Time, Inc. will accommodate those people with much-needed quarters as close to the hospital as possible.
