Last Tuesday, NEDS presented a Career Panel in Donation and Transplantation to senior high school students from Boston Public Schools who participate in the Massachusetts General Hospital Youth Program. This panel was composed of four specialists in the field of Donation and Transplantation - Dr. Nahel Elias, Abdominal Transplant Surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital; Laura Cornacchini, RN, Abdominal Transplant Nurse Coordinator at Massachusetts General Hospital; Steven Averhart, NEDS Senior Director of Family Services; and Dave Dixon, NEDS Clinical Responder. The panel was moderated and organized by Ingrid Palacios, Multicultural Outreach Program Manager at NEDS.
