Throughout your career, you have contributed to the science, mentorship, and global community that define advanced heart and lung disease care. A legacy gift to the ISHLT Foundation allows that contribution to continue—creating opportunities for future generations of clinicians, scientists, and innovators.

The breakthroughs that transform patient care often begin with a single idea—and the opportunity to pursue it. By including the Foundation in your estate plans, you help provide enduring support for research, education, leadership development, and global collaboration that will strengthen the field for years to come.

Your gift becomes part of a lasting commitment to advancing science, developing future leaders, and improving the care and outcomes of patients around the world.

Today’s seed grant becomes tomorrow’s clinical protocol.
Today’s early-career investigator becomes tomorrow’s mentor.
A legacy gift is how that cycle continues.
