Yes, that would help.
I agree that moving to be near the hospital where the transplant is likely to occur is impractical. My neighbor across the street was on a transplant list for a heart for nearly a year. In his case, it was at a nearby hospital and he had to remain very close to home during the wait. (He got a new heart last year- I marvel every time I see him out mowing his lawn.)
I wish your friend well. Please keep us posted.
