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. The initiative was part of the “Subaru Love to Care” program, through which blankets and heartfelt messages of hope were presented to patients, reminding them that they are cherished by their community and not alone in the fight against cancer.  

The distribution was led by members of the Bert Ogden Subaru Auto Group, who joined DHR Health team members, in personally delivering the blankets and offering words of encouragement to patients.
