This week, Midwest Transplant Network had the honor of welcoming back Dr. Brittany Clayborne as our special guest speaker at Town Hall. Dr. Brittany, a heart transplant recipient, cancer survivor and a great friend to MTN, shared her insight as the keynote speaker at each of MTN’s 2024 symposia events – Columbia, Arrowhead and Wichita, when she spoke at the Kansas City event, she talked about her powerful journey alongside her son, Micah, who was 14 and on the heart transplant list at the time. We were overjoyed to learn that Micah had received his life-saving heart transplant in October 2024—and in an extraordinary connection, his donor is from the MTN service area. Their story is a profound reminder of the life-changing impact of organ donation and the importance of our shared mission. We are grateful to Dr. Brittany for sharing both of their journeys and for reminding us why our work matters. 💜💚#GiveHopeShareLife- +2

- Midwest Transplant Network welcomed 60 attendees both in person and virtually to provide education about collaborating with palliative care teams to best support families when faced with end-of-life decisions. The education was provided in partnership with Stormont Vail Health Topeka Nurse Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner, Janelle Williamson, MS, APRN, NP-C, ACHPN, FPCN along with MTN staff John Michael Segars, Pharm.D., Family Services Coordinator III, and Mallory Reitemeier, MSN, RN, CMSRN, Hospital Services Coordinator. The program included review of a pilot program with Stormont Vail Health over the past year aimed at developing best practices to collaborate and include donation in end-of-life care planning conversations. Supportive data demonstrated improved donation outcomes with 64% of families saying yes to donation before a collaborative approach and 78% when MTN and palliative care worked as a team to support the families together. #GiveHopeShareLife
