Keynote Speaker Robert B. Love, MD

“Why do we do what we do?” Robert B. Love, M.D., is a professor of surgery at Northwestern Hospital.

Board certified in surgery, thoracic surgery and critical care, Dr. Love’s clinical interests include cardiothoracic surgery, valve repair and heart and lung transplantation. His research interests include strategies for reducing complications of immune suppression necessary after organ transplantation, and the use of stem cell-based therapies for the treatment of organ rejection and heart and lung failure.

Prior to joining the Northwestern faculty, Dr Love served as professor of surgery, microbiology and immunology, and as the director of lung and heart transplant programs at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago. He also established and directed the Van Kampen Cardiothoracic Research Lab in Loyola’s department of thoracic surgery. After earning his M.D. from Rush Medical College in Chicago in 1982, Dr. Love completed his residency in general surgery and a cardiothoracic surgery fellowship at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Dr. Love brings over 20 years of experience in cardiac surgery and heart and lung transplantation. In addition to his surgical experience, Dr. Love has demonstrated a commitment to research, innovation and the advancement of the field of cardiac surgery, publishing more than 80 peer-reviewed manuscripts in academic journals. He also serves as a reviewer for many journals devoted to the fields of cardiac surgery and transplantation. After assisting the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) in many roles over the years, he also served as a member of its Board of Directors. In 2011, Dr. Love’s contributions to the field of surgery were recognized with a Fellowship in the Royal College of Surgeons in London. He has been recognized for his work as one of the Best Doctors in the country since 2005 by Best Doctors, Inc., and has been listed in Chicago magazine's Top Docs in 2011 and 2012

Driven2Save Lives Taylor McLean, Sister of Bryan Clauson Steve Johnson, Indiana Donor Network

Donor: Justin Wilson, IndyCar Justin lives on through five people. His family doesn’t know who they are or where they are or what their conditions are but knowing his life may have saved or helped others is everything to them. Giving selflessly is what and who he was, and his final gesture proved it. Donor: Bryan Clauson, USAC National Midget Driver "It was not lost on our family as we sat huddled around him, holding his hands, comforting him and each other, saying our last goodbye that five families were also sitting in a hospital room somewhere, comforting their loved one and each other while praying for a miracle that Bryan ultimately delivered for them. We are so proud of our Bryan for making this decision.”

Often, if not always, in life and work, the best question to ask is “what is possible?” Imagine if you had the rare gift of time and resources to solve the inefficiencies within the field of transplantation or within your own organization.

We will be offering you an opportunity to do just that! NATCO in collaboration with UNOS will once again bring an Innovation Event to the NATCO Annual meeting in August 2018. This is a wonderful opportunity to partner with UNOS staff to solve those data and educational gaps that weigh down your transplant hospital or OPO on a daily basis.

Thursday/Friday, August 9-10, 2018 During breaks/lunch Developers continue to work on the projects.
