Flu season is here, and now is the time to protect yourself and your loved ones. 💙

Dr. Jason Bowling, chief epidemiologist at University Health, says flu is more than just a bad cold. It can cause pneumonia, heart problems, hospitalization – and even death.
Dr. Bowling and the CDC recommend a flu shot for nearly everyone 6 months and older, including children, seniors, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. Research shows vaccination can cut the risk of hospitalization by 40%.

Getting your shot now helps your body build protection before flu cases peak.

University Health is offering free flu shots at our drive-thru locations. Schedule yours today: https://ow.ly/tEJh50WUQmT.

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.

Not sure if your little one is too sick to go to school? 😷

Here’s a checklist from Dr. Benjamin Balderman, a University Health pediatrician: 🧑⚕️

• A fever over 100°F that doesn't go away.
• A sore throat that has lasted more than two days.
• An uncontrolled cough.
• A widespread rash.
• Severe ear pain.
• Nausea or diarrhea.

Children should be symptom-free for 24 hours before going back!

And, yes, kids sometime fake being sick. An emotional or social problem at school could be the reason. Talking to your pediatrician can help.

When Melroy Koehler was diagnosed with liver cancer, he weighed more than 300 pounds. Facing a liver transplant and needing weight-loss surgery, he was in a seemingly impossible situation. The two procedures are almost never done at the same time. But our incredible liver transplant team wasn't deterred.

They decided to do something innovative: perform both surgeries at once. And it worked! Melroy's life was saved, and today, he's thriving. His story of hope and resilience was recently shared with more than 6,000 transplant experts from around the world at the World Transplant Congress in San Francisco.

We're so proud of our University Health Transplant Institute team and of Melroy for his incredible journey! 👏

Watch Melroy's story to see why we've been named the #1 liver transplant program in the nation for three consecutive years: https://youtu.be/KROQ0xP_wHA.

📱 How much screen time is too much for kids? Between cell phones, video games and social media, many kids are plugged in for hours every day and, let’s be honest, adults are also! But did you know that teens who spend more than 3 hours a day on social media are twice as likely to show signs of depression and anxiety?

Dr. Amy Cobb recently spoke at a KSAT Community Town Hall alongside the CEO of Clarity Child Guidance Center to talk about how screen time affects children’s health and development.

She shared some simple ways families can create healthier screen habits at home, like:
✅ Setting up screen-free zones (like during dinner or bedtime)
✅ Making a family digital agreement
✅ Prioritizing time for real-life connections
It’s about finding balance and protecting our kids’ mental wellness and physical health. 💙

This is a story that truly warms our hearts! ❤️

In July 2023, Portland State soccer player Cameron Lane made an incredible, life-saving decision: she donated 70% of her liver to her mother, Jamie, who was battling polycystic liver and kidney disease. This transformative transplant took place at our University Health Transplant Institute – recognized by INTERLINK Health Services as the nation’s #1 liver transplant program for three years in a row!

Jamie's journey continued with our nationally recognized Champion for Life program, helping her find another living donor for a successful kidney transplant. Cameron's act of love created ripples far beyond the OR; she returned to college soccer, became a passionate advocate for liver health and even ran the 2025 Boston Marathon as the American Liver Foundation’s National LIVEr Champion, raising more than $10k.

These women’s stories illustrate that one selfless choice can truly change everything.
