The transplant team at OSF Saint Frances Medical Center evaluates each candidate on an individual basis. The decision is based on the physical condition of the candidate, not chronological age. There are risks involved with older candidates, and these are discussed with the candidates and their families so that everyone understands and is comfortable with the situation.
