You are cordially invited to attend a presentation sponsored by the Center for Research in Chronic Disorders on April 1, 1996 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Room 123 of Victoria Building.

Donna Hathaway, PhD, RN, FAAN, Professor and Director of Clinical Transplant Research and Director of the Center for Nursing Research at the University of Tennessee, Memphis will present, "Quality of Life Outcomes After Kidney and Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation: Measurement, Prediction and Biological Linkages." A reception will be held in the lobby immediately following the presentation to give individuals the occasion to meet Dr. Hathaway.

We are fortunate to bring to university constituents the opportunity to meet Dr. Hathaway and hear her work with quality of life in renal transplant patients. She is currently the principal investigator for a NINR grant entitled, “Autonomic Function and Posttransplant Quality of Life. She also has a grant from the Baxter Corporation to study ventricular function after pancreas-kidney transplant. She has published extensively in Transplant Proceedings, Transplantation, and the Journal of Transplant Coordination. Her work was disseminated in five different papers presented at the 14th Annual meeting of the American Society of Transplant Physicians in 1995. She was also named the 1995 Nurse Researcher of the Year by the American Nephrology Nurses Association. Her previous grants included a NCNR grant for Renal Transplant Outcomes with Low-Dose Steroid Therapy. She has published a book chapter on organ transplantation in Basic Medical Surgical Nursing.

We are delighted Dr. Hathaway chose to visit the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing. Please RSVP by March 29 to Stephanine Duplaga at 624-7838. We hope you are able to join us!
