\n

Michael Sorrell, MD, emeritus professor in the UNMC Department of Internal Medicine and a legendary UNMC physician world-renowned for expertise in liver disease, liver transplantation and gastrointestinal disorders,\u202fdied May 25. He was 88.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitation will be Wednesday. More service information can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Sorrell, who retired from UNMC in December 2021, held several key leadership positions at both UNMC and the Omaha VA Hospital.\u202fHe is credited with recruitment of top UNMC physicians and researchers and growth of facilities and programs to include the world’s leading liver transplant and bone marrow transplant programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMichael Sorrell\u2019s contributions played a major role in shaping UNMC into the world-class academic science center that it is today,\u201d said Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, UNMC Chancellor. \u201cA world-renowned physician and proud Nebraskan, his commitment to patient care, education, research and betterment of community relationships advanced UNMC onto the national and international stage. He was a visionary and his remarkable contributions will never be forgotten. We will miss him.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Linder, MD, CEO of Nebraska Medicine, said: “Mike Sorrell’s leadership built the foundation for much of the success UNMC has had over the past 30 years. He had high standards for himself and others. The greatest compliment you could receive is when he told you ‘Good job.'”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early 80s, Dr. Sorrell was key in recruiting Byers \u201cBud\u201d Shaw, Jr., MD, to launch a liver transplant program at UNMC, as well as James Armitage, MD, who started the bone marrow transplant program and James O’Dell, MD, professor of internal medicine, and chief of the division of rheumatology who developed breakthrough treatments for rheumatoid arthritis and trained many practicing rheumatologists in Nebraska. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is perhaps no one who has had more of an impact on shaping the department of internal medicine and the UNMC College of Medicine than Dr. Sorrell,\u201d said Bradley Britigan, MD, dean of the UNMC College of Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe had a vision that transformed the college into the robust academic medical center it is today. But importantly, not only did he have a vision, he had the ability, energy and stamina to make it happen. We all should be thankful to him for his leadership and dedication to UNMC over more than half a century. We will miss him greatly, and we send our condolences and our great respect to his wife, Shirley, and other family members at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMike Sorrell was the key person in changing UNMC from a quiet little medical school that did very little research into an internationally known research institution that attracts people from all over the world,”\u202fsaid Dr. Armitage. \u201cFor me personally, he will always be the most important person in my career \u2013 the man who gave me a chance and believed in me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. O’Dell considered Dr. Sorrell a mentor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery successful academician owes his or her success to their mentors,\u201d Dr. O\u2019Dell said. \u201cPeople who come along at just the right time – and by their example and belief in their mentees – inspire them and allow them to thrive. Mike Sorrell was that person for me. I had the singular privilege of being Mike’s first chief resident – his belief in me meant everything. He truly was bigger than life and will be sorely missed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rowen Zetterman, MD, also spoke on Dr. Sorrell\u2019s impact, both on UNMC and on Dr. Zetterman\u2019s own career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr. Michael Sorrell was a world-renowned hepatologist, an outstanding gastroenterologist, and a remarkable general internist who devoted his academic life to clinical investigation, patient care, and education,\u201d Dr. Zetterman said. \u201cHe was the mentor that students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty needed to prepare and plan their future in medicine, and at critical junctures, was the leader UNMC and national organizations needed to ensure their growth. Above all, he loved taking care of his patients and in doing so, taught the rest of us to be sure we also provided the total care that each patient needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amy Volk, senior vice president and chief development officer of the University of Nebraska Foundation, said: “Dr. Michael F. Sorrell was a beacon of selflessness as a teacher, mentor, physician, and friend. As a benefactor, he inspired others through his principles, leadership and compassion,<\/em> elevating our medical center to greatness. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched. We extend our deepest condolences to his family. His absence leaves a void in our hearts and a lasting impact on our community.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Dr. Sorrell stopped seeing patients, he continued to work three or four days a week then fully retired Dec. 31, 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His work was funded for decades with large grants from organizations including the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Veterans Affairs.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Sorrell\u2019s commitment to Nebraska and UNMC ran deep.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The native of Syracuse, Neb., graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1955 and graduated in 1959 from the UNMC College of Medicine. He served as a general practitioner in Tecumseh, Nebraska, until 1966 then pursued advanced training in gastroenterology and hepatology then joined UNMC’s faculty in 1971.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1980s, he served as chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine and later stepped down to become medical director of the liver transplant program and chief of gastroenterology and hepatology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNMC benefactors Ruth and Bill Scott were some of Dr. Sorrell\u2019s most passionate supporters. They were impressed with Dr. Sorrell\u2019s vision of making UNMC a first-class medical center. As lead donors of the Michael F. Sorrell Center for Health Science Education, they named the center in Dr. Sorrell\u2019s honor. They also created the Michael F. Sorrell Distinguished Chair in Internal Medicine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dr. Michael Sorrell was more than a physician; he was a visionary who reshaped UNMC into a beacon of medical excellence. And he was a good friend to Bill and me.  His commitment to advancing healthcare and education inspired us deeply. We are honored to have supported his transformative vision, and his legacy will forever shine brightly in the Michael F. Sorrell Center for Health Science Education,” said Ruth Scott.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Sorrell is survived by his wife, Shirley and children, James, Thomas, John and Michael II, 17 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
