The Michael R. Applin Nursing Award

We welcome your gift in memory of Michael Applin, to the Michael R. Applin Nursing Award for Transplant at Toronto General Hospital

            Michael was diagnosed 10 years ago with IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis).  After a 7-month wait for a lung transplant, and nearly one full month in the Medical Surgical Intensive Care Unit of Toronto General Hospital, he passed away from complications on February 6^th, 2009.  The exemplary nursing care touched us all deeply, and the Applin family has created a legacy award to recognize and honour their superb dedication.

            Nurses working in the Multi Organ Transplant Centre at Toronto General Hospital are part of a highly specialized team who provide care for patients coping with organ failure. They work closely with physicians to assess and adjust complex care plans. Their advanced training allows them to provide compassionate and innovative care for patients before, during and after transplantation.
