EDINBURG, Texas – Bert Ogden Subaru, in partnership with the Blood Cancer United, recently brought comfort and encouragement to patients receiving care at DHR Health’s Oncology Institute by presenting blankets and heart-shaped pillows to individuals courageously battling cancer.

The heartwarming event was held on June 19, 2026, at the DHR Health Oncology Institute located at 2717 Michelangelo Drive in Edinburg.
