There are few moments more powerful than telling someone they’re eligible for a life-saving organ transplant. Allison Subolesk, transplant coordinator at Virtua Advanced Transplant & Organ Health, knows that feeling well—and she shares what it means to be part of such a life-changing journey. #OrganDonor #GiveLife #DonateLifeMonth #DonateLife #BeADonor #OrganDonationSavesLives

Magnet designation is the gold standard for nursing excellence, and thanks to the dedication and leadership of Lauren Hodges, Virtua has once again achieved this prestigious recognition! As the Director of Outcomes and Magnet Recognition, Lauren led our three legacy hospitals through the rigorous re-designation process—developing and writing three separate Magnet documents, organizing successful appraiser site visits, and guiding teams every step of the way. While most organizations have a Magnet director for each hospital, Lauren took on this challenge for the entire Virtua system—demonstrating purposeful leadership, tireless dedication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Her efforts not only ensure high-quality nursing care but also elevate Virtua’s reputation as a leader in patient outcomes and experience. For her incredible impact, we are honored to present Lauren with the WE Award for Leadership! 🎉👏

Jill Pinkelman had never met Budd Springer, a veteran in need of a kidney transplant. But when she learned about Donor Outreach for Veterans (DOVE), she felt compelled to act. For Jill, donating a kidney wasn’t about recognition—it was simply the right thing to do. Inspired by the sacrifices of service members and her own family’s legacy of giving back, she underwent surgery in March 2023 to give Budd a second chance at life. Read their incredible story and how Virtua’s transplant team and DOVE Transplant helped bring them together: https://bit.ly/41Scqiu #donatelifemonth #kidneyhealth #transplantjourney #OrganDonation #livingdonor

Since it's officially Donate Life Month, we'd love to introduce you to Dr. Yesenia Galan, a Virtua Advanced Transplant & Organ Health nephrologist!    What’s the most rewarding part of her job? The relationships she builds with her patients! Beyond managing chronic kidney disease with evidence-based treatments, Dr. Galan cherishes the personal connections—celebrating wins, supporting through losses, and being a trusted partner in their health journeys.   Dr. Galan’s journey into nephrology started during her internal medicine training, where she worked with diabetic and hypertensive patients. That experience sparked two lifelong passions: understanding renal physiology and empowering patients with the knowledge to care for themselves. Now, as a nephrologist at Virtua Health, she combines expert medical care with patient education every day!   After a long shift, Dr. Galan loves to unplug and recharge in nature. And outside of work, she fuels her adventurous spirit through travel, gaining new perspectives and experiences along the way.   Drop a 💙 in the comments to show some love for Dr. Galan!   #Nephrology #KidneyHealth #DonateLife
