DHR Health has announced a free, bilingual educational event titled “The Miracle of a Kidney Transplant”, scheduled for July 15, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. at the Edinburg Conference Center at Renaissance, located at 118 Paseo del Prado Avenue.

“This is a unique opportunity for the public to learn firsthand about transplant procedures, donor options, and real patient outcomes,” said Dr. Allam. “Education is the first step toward saving lives.”

Dr. Valdes emphasized the accessibility of the event. “We want to make sure people know that this session is free and open to everyone. It will be conducted in both English and Spanish to reach as many individuals and families as possible.”

The presentation will cover a range of topics, including the risks and benefits of kidney transplantation, the distinction between deceased and living donors, how to locate a living donor, and real-life transplant experiences shared by patients.
