Kimberly Lane

Life Connection of Ohio

Kimberly Lane has been a Registered Nurse for nine years and has worked at Miami Valley Hospital for the past five years. As a clinical nurse in the Emergency Department (ER), Kim is an enthusiastic advocate, a passionate leader, and a champion for organ donation. Her dedication to donation extends far beyond the ER to the lives of families whom she has touched but has never had the opportunity to meet. Organ donation is a process that brings hope and comfort to families who suffer tragedy and, ultimately, saves lives. Kim has created a positive culture for organ donation and has demonstrated her commitment by being a keynote speaker on the topic for Life Connection of Ohio. Because of Kim's efforts, making timely referrals is embedded into the practice of the ER staff at Miami Valley Hospital. A colleague wrote, "On behalf of the over 100,000 people waiting for a life-saving transplant and those families comforted by your compassion and support, thank you, Kim Lane, for being a champion for donation. The donation community is fortunate to have such a strong and committed leader." Kim earned her B.S.N. from the University of Toledo/Medical College of Ohio. She was nominated for nursing excellence awards at Miami Valley Hospital from 2005 through 2009. She received the Wall of Excellence–Patients First Standard Award in 2008.
