I want to share this newsfeed article where I read that the annual number of adults age 65 or older receiving transplants is increasing.

@rosemarya Interesting. At my transplant center, the overall health of the candidate is what determines if that person can have a transplant. I think more and more transplant centers are adopting that philosophy.

I also think that each year, "seniors" are getting in better shape and working on maintaining good health. When a transplant center looks at overall health that makes a big difference.
