CLINICIAN OF THE YEAR AWARD Michael O’Donnell, MD Urology
Michael O’Donnell, MD
Dr. O’Donnell is not only world renowned for his research and accomplishments with bladder cancer patients, but he also takes the necessary time to speak with his patients to understand their diagnosis and treatments options. He often calls patients after clinic or a long surgery day to discuss their concerns and questions via phone. He also is willing to see patients on off clinic days between other surgeries to get patients in for evaluations/consults in a timely fashion, even though this adds to his challenging and busy work day. UIHC is very lucky to have a physician of his character, expertise and dedication at our institution. Dr. O’Donnell’s concern for his patients shines through every interaction with them. At tumor boards, he is a great advocate for excellent patient care and an invaluable resource for participants (including junior urologists) as to the best and wisest care decisions.
“…It is not uncommon for me to hear “Dr. O’Donnell saved my life” through several mutual patients…”

“…His expertise in the field of bladder malignancies is well known and has played a pivotal role in the development of newer treatment options for bladder cancers...”
INNOVATIONS IN CLINICAL CARE AWARD Ambulatory Response to COVID-19 Team Family Medicine and Pathology
Katie Imborek, MD
Ambulatory Response to COVID-19 was an innovative plan developed and successfully implemented by The UI Community Clinic leadership team, led by Dr. Katie Imborek, to respond to the Covid-19 Pandemic through telemedicine visits and a new expansive “respiratory illness clinic�. This pre-defined escalation of care pathway improved efficiencies for the patient, communication amongst the various teams, decompressed the Emergency Department, and kept patients out of the hospital. The innovative ILI Telemedicine started 3/10/20, just 7 days after the idea was approved, which is a testament to the tireless work of HCIS, PAC, and our clinical leaders, and the ILI Clinic opened in the Family Medicine Clinic 3/12/20. The UIHC Clinical Microbiology team, under the medical leadership of Dr. Bradley Ford, has done an amazing job in the COVID crisis. In talking with people at other similar institutions, it is clear that the Clinical Microbiology team has done an incredible effort under difficult circumstances.
Bradley Ford, MD, PhD
The effort includes the following from UI Community Clinics: Elizabeth Jaggers, Rachel Kirchner, Debbie Herold, Robert Linnell, Elizabeth Highland, Katie Bulin, Brittany Wanninger, Katie Schaier, Katie Burrell, Rebecca McQuillen, Bekka Cappussi, as well as Neil Christiansen and Keri Semrau of UI Patient Access Center and Cory Pfab, Kaitlyn Merck, Becca Miner, and Brack Bingham from HCIS. The following from the Clinical Microbiology and Molecular Pathology Teams contributed to the success of this program: Connie Floerchinger, Jean Jennings, Wanita Howard, Lisa Blake, Bob Rotzell, Aaron Stence, Lauren Cooper, Tom Preston, Michelle Knock, Whitney Barnhart, Miriam Arif, Sarah Costello, Kristin Dolgos, Cindy Harms, Jeff Kirby, Lyndsey Headington, Joyce Sanderson, Angie Schmueker, Jessica Kokjohn, Jon Pruessner, Heidi Nobiling, Meredith Parsons, Catherine Krahe-Daly, Lisa Horning, Elizabeth Leiffert, Jim Ross, Gabe Young, Liz Schulz, Sarah Hornberg, Stacey Klutts, Todd Gillihan, Jon Maakstadt, Bill Ganschow, and Aaron Bossler.

“…Head and Neck treatments can be very challenging for patients due to the toxicity of the radiation treatment. Dr. Anderson and her team has led the efforts in reducing this toxicity through collaborations with industry with Phase I, II, and III trials. The significant benefits shown to patients through these trials are made possible through the team-work and collaborations of the Head and Neck team in the Department of Radiation Oncology…”

Jorge Salinas, MD

Dr. Salinas has provided (and continues to provide) outstandingly rational, balanced, and practical guidance on care delivery policy during the pandemic. He has found diplomatic ways to modify the all too common practice of the most concerned individual setting policy. Instead, he is a dynamic consensus builder balancing data driven practice with practical implementation.
