A legend. The heart of the liver transplant program. The Taylor Swift of the transplant world.  These are some of the many ways colleagues have described Laurie Salonen, transplant coordinator, and the impact she has had on the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The liver failure and transplant program wouldn\u2019t exist today if it wasn\u2019t for her contributions over the years. Salonen founded the program alongside Byers \u201cBud\u201d Shaw, MD, in 1985 and has championed its success ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n

Now, 38 years later, she\u2019s finally ready to hang up her nursing cap. Salonen will retire Friday, Jan. 5, leaving behind a legacy that is unmatched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salonen grew up in Evanston, Illinois. She earned her bachelor\u2019s degree in nursing from the University of Michigan and her master\u2019s degree from Wayne State University. She knew early in her career that she wanted to work with children and went on to work in the pediatric intensive care units at CS Mott Children\u2019s Hospital at the University of Michigan and Children\u2019s Hospital University of Illinois in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy favorite patients were the teenagers,\u201d Salonen said. \u201cThey\u2019re very resilient because they don\u2019t want to be sick. Kids just want to be normal \u2013 they want to play and interact. That\u2019s why I ended up in pediatrics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salonen said it was luck that brought her to University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in 1982, where she served as a clinical nurse specialist for all surgical patients in the pediatric hospital. The facility had recently established the nation\u2019s first pediatric liver transplant program. Because the procedure was new and somewhat controversial at the time, there was not an organized system in place to guide nurses on how to provide a standard of care.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere were these very sick kids who had a huge operation, and none of the nurses knew what to do,\u201d she said. \u201cThey brought them back and stuck them in a bed and that was that \u2013 it was very chaotic. I advocated that they needed somebody to teach nurses how to take care of these patients and support their families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This passion for patient care led her to establish the first liver transplant coordinator role for the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salonen went on to develop this same role at UNMC (prior to the hospital merger that created Nebraska Medicine) when she and Dr. Shaw were recruited to establish the liver failure and transplant program in 1985. The program was only the fifth of its kind in the country at the time, and it quickly became the second busiest. Salonen played an integral role in the program\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLaurie was probably the most important individual in the whole program,\u201d Dr. Shaw said. \u201cPerforming a liver transplant is easy compared to a lot of things she did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the beginning, Salonen established a culture among transplant nurses centered around her core belief: always do what\u2019s right for the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou could ask any of the nurses that I\u2019ve worked with here, and they would tell you that\u2019s what I always say,\u201d Salonen admits with a laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The patient-first culture she created is a primary reason the liver transplant program is so highly respected among other health care systems across the country. Many have modeled their transplant coordinator roles after the one she built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat she does for patients is above and beyond,\u201d said April Romans, transplant coordinator. \u201cShe makes relationships with them and knows their history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no surprise that Salonen has grown close to her patients over the years. She still follows more than 400 of them. She often gives patients her phone number, pager number and email so that they can contact her whenever they need something. She sends them personal holiday cards and greetings year after year. One of her most prized possessions is a folder of emails and cards she\u2019s received from her patients over the years. It\u2019s something she said she\u2019ll treasure for the rest of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt makes me emotional looking through it,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s been humbling and rewarding to have had an impact on so many people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of those patients includes James Redford, the late son of actor Robert Redford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven Robert Redford thinks she\u2019s a legend,\u201d said Patti Turner, transplant coordinator. \u201cThat just speaks to the fame and recognition of our program that she has helped create.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salonen\u2019s extraordinary care for others isn\u2019t limited to patients and their families \u2013 it extends to her colleagues as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cAll of us have been in stressful situations and hard times, but she always wraps her arms around you, makes you feel better and gives you the confidence to push through,\u201d said Brandi Gerhardt, transplant coordinator. \u201cShe always wants to know the little details about her co-workers, and that is nice because we all need conversation about something beyond work sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, Salonen has served in many leadership roles and received several awards and accolades. She was the editor-in-chief of the Kidney Foundation Transplant Chronicles, president of the North American Transplant Organization, chair of the United Network of Organ Sharing transplant coordinator committee, the March of Dimes nurse of the year \u2013 the list goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Salonen came to the medical center 38 years ago, she planned to stay for only six months. Now, she can\u2019t imagine a different career than what she has experienced here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was fabulous to be a part of this program from the beginning,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve built wonderful relationships with patients and colleagues over the years. I feel very lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Salonen has no immediate plans for her newfound free time in retirement, she said she and her husband may eventually move to South Dakota to be closer to her kids and grandkids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor now, I\u2019m just going to take a little time off and figure it out,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
