University of Iowa forensic pathologists Dr. Marcus Nashelsky and Dr. Dennis Firchau are co-recipients of the Iowa Donor Network Excellence in Partnership Award for Outstanding Medical Examiner

According to the Iowa Donor Network, the Excellence in Partnership Award is given to individuals affiliated with IDN’s partner agencies who demonstrate a commitment to making every donation opportunity a reality, advocate for donors and their families, help raise awareness about donation, and exemplify IDN's mission and values. In 2015 Dr. Nashelsky and Dr. Firchau collaborated with IDN on 32 organ donors and more than 40 tissue donors. Dr. Nashelsky and Dr. Firchau do all they can to maximize donation opportunities. It is because of partnerships like this that Iowa Donor Network is able to achieve its mission of Transforming Lives Through Organ and Tissue Donation.
