The University of North Carolina Hospital provides lung transplantation as a treatment option for patients with incurable end-stage lung disease.
Lung transplantation is not only a tremendous medical and surgical undertaking; it is also a huge financial burden. Many patients and families cannot afford the medication and treatments needed to sustain life after undergoing such a procedure.

The Sweet Melissa Fund was founded in January of 2005 in memory of Melissa Alexander, a vibrant young woman who lost her battle with cystic fibrosis during her lung transplant surgery. The Fund provides financial assistance to lung transplant recipients and their families.

The Sweet Melissa Fund was named in memory of Melissa Alexander, shown above.

The work continues to honor all of the UNC Lung Transplant patients who have left this earth before their time.
