Arrowsmith is an exceptional team of highly skilled nurses who quickly become an integral part of your transplant program. They work side-by-side with your team, evaluating organ offers and helping identify the organs that are truly right for your patients.
I still remember receiving a call from an Arrowsmith nurse who said, “Dr. Leeser, why aren’t we taking this kidney? This is one your program always takes.” She walked me through the donor story, and she was absolutely right. We accepted the kidney and immediately moved forward with the appropriate patient. Moments like that show just how deeply they understand your program and how seriously they take their role on your team.
Their coordinators are among the best trained in the field. They know how to work your waiting list, identify the right candidate—especially when an offer comes late with significant cold time—and move quickly to get that patient into the hospital. They are incredibly responsive, and when multiple offers come in at once, they seamlessly support one another to keep everything running smoothly.
I have worked with many of the Arrowsmith nurses for more than 10 years, and I recommend them without reservation. They are reliable, knowledgeable, and truly outstanding partners for any transplant program.
