The LIFT-ECHO community mourns the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Douglas Seidner.
Doug, to his many friends, was an internationally renowned expert in intestinal failure and nutritional support, patient, thoughtful, deliberate and always generous of his time, his deep intellect and his compassion. The intestinal failure community has lost a giant leader and a passionate educator.
