This is Rich and Tim, and their story is a powerful reminder of what true friendship looks like.❤️

Rich's world changed in 2014 with a lupus diagnosis that caused his kidneys to fail. He was on dialysis, facing the reality that a life-saving transplant could be years away - but thanks to a calling his friend felt during a church service, that wait was cut short. On January 2020, Tim selflessly gave Rich a second chance at life by donating his kidney. What was expected to take years, happened in just five months!

As Rich approaches six years post-transplant, he is filled with gratitude for his life, his health and the incredible people who have supported him. “If you’re reading this, you’re blessed—just being alive is a gift!” he shared.

At the event, we shared tips on medication management, home safety and other simple changes that can keep you and your loved ones safe and independent. ❤️

“As a common cause of trauma injuries, falls can be life-changing, especially for older adults,” said Jennifer Northway, Director of Injury Prevention at University Health. “Simple changes can make a big difference.”

Born five weeks premature and with severe kidney disease, Oshae's young life was defined by nightly dialysis and hospital stays. But on October 2024, everything changed. His incredible mom, Valine, gave him a life-saving gift at our University Health Transplant Institute: one of her kidneys. ❤️

Today, four-year-old Oshae is a “brand-new kid, full of energy and growing taller every day.” He is finally experiencing the simple joys he once missed, like playing outdoors and traveling with his family. Inspired by her son's amazing journey, Valine is now looking to give a second chance at life to another child by becoming a liver donor.

Their story is a beautiful reminder of the power of hope and giving back. Join us in celebrating Oshae’s new chance at life, Valine's selfless love and the incredible impact of living donation.

What would you say to the person whose decision to donate part of their liver saved the life of you or your spouse? Two couples recently found their tears of gratitude said more than words when they met during a celebration of our University Health Transplant Institute’s living liver donors. 💙💚

When Santiago Robles wasn’t a match for fiancé Elena Perez, he agreed to give to an unknown person in exchange for Elena receiving her transplant. It was the same for Alejandra Restrepo who offered to donate for her husband, Luis Arrieta Mendez. In the end, Alejandra was a match for Elena, and Santiago was compatible with Luis. All four are hoping their love and trust help to spread the important message: living organ donors can make miracles happen. They recover quickly and their gift gives others a chance to live a full life.

For years, Victorino Valdez Herrera, 74, lived with the daily fatigue and shortness of breath that came with atrial fibrillation, known as AFib. His irregular heart rhythm placed him at higher risk for stroke and heart failure.

After multiple procedures failed to bring relief, Mr. Valdez placed his trust in our cardiologists, Dr. Dawn Hui and Dr. Hemal Nayak. They have teamed up to use the Convergent procedure for patients that have AFib that doesn’t respond to other treatments. The two-step, minimally invasive process combines surgical and catheter-based techniques.

The result: Mr. Valdez’s AFib symptoms are gone. Today he is back to enjoying long walks and family activities. He’s an example of how teamwork and advanced medical care is helping us change lives. 💙

Univision San Antonio broadcast a compelling Spanish-language story that tells of Mr. Valdez’s journey and explains the procedure: https://ow.ly/MY5Q50WNEq6.
