Don Hayes, MD, MS, MEd

Dr. Hayes brings to Nationwide Children’s an interest and experience in supporting or “bridging” patients with severely advanced lung disease to lung transplant with artificial technology such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or ECMO. Thus, he will lead research efforts to further advance treatment of patients with severe lung disease.

Dr. Hayes, a nationally recognized physician being named a 2011 Top Physician and recent recipient of the American Medical Association Doctor William Beaumont Award in Medicine, has been published in more than 60 peer-reviewed journals and has served as both an international and national speaker at symposia. He has been actively involved in teaching and community service while receiving numerous grants to fund research.

He completed his medical training at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine graduating with honors. He pursued his combined internal medicine and pediatrics residency at East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine. He then completed three fellowships at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health with a concentration in advanced lung disease and lung transplantation during his adult pulmonary training. Dr. Hayes also has two master’s degrees – one in clinical and translational science and the latter in medical education.
