Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases Thomas P. Shanley, M.D., became the first Janette Ferrantino Professor of Pediatrics November 29, 2006, at a ceremony in the Biomedical Science Research Building.
Director of pediatric critical care medicine and head of the Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program, Shanley joined the U-M faculty in August 2004 as an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases. His clinical interests include management of pediatric hypoxemic respiratory failure and of severe sepsis and septic shock, and post-operative cardiac management.
A longtime supporter of pediatrics, Janette Ferrantino is president and chief executive officer of the Detroit Salt Company.
She came to the U-M more than 20 years ago when her eldest daughter, Janelle Williams, became seriously ill from complications of a rare blood disease at the age of 5. After undergoing emergency surgery and receiving care from U-M physicians, Janelle is healthy today.
