Welcome back to the NCS podcast.  In this episode, I want to provide some additional details on ways to ease the financial burden of what you are going through. For many, you have to travel to see a specialist, but rest assured! There are travel options for you that can help cut costs. I offer more details about each of the below option—things to know when navigating each organization—but I wanted to offer the links to their respective websites for your convenience: 

• Flights:
  • Angel Flights: https://angelflightwest.org/
  • Angel MedFlights: https://angelmedflight.com/
  • Lifeline Pilots: https://lifelinepilots.org/patient-information/service-area/
  • Mercy Medical Angels: https://www.mercymedical.org/request-assistance
• Hotels/Housing:
  • The below option were the more financially affordable options provided to me for my stay at UWHealth in Madison, WI; thus, these will not be applicable to you if you are not consulting and/or having surgery at UWHealth. 
    • Best Western Plus InnTower Madison: 2424 University Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin, 53726
    • Restoring Hope Transplant House: http://www.restoringhope.org/

As always, if you have other recommendations that I did offer on this episode and/or want to offer details on financially affordable options when visiting another NCS surgeons, please drop those tidbits in the comments! Big hug!
