Here’s a heartfelt story to start out your day!

“When I got that final call of, ‘I have good news. You have been approved,’ it was instant relief, and just instant peace and calm. And then, the excitement just kicked in,” Pamela Bish, a mom of three, expressed as she shares her journey of getting the chance to donate her kidney to her 2-year-old son with kidney failure.

Check out her story below: https://weisradio.com/2022/06/…

We are excited to share a panel talk from the American Society of Transplantation (AST) given by Dr. Amy Waterman, Dr. Devin Peipert, and Jim Gleason on “Amplifying the Patient Voice: Key Priorities and Opportunities for Improved Transplant and Living Donor Advocacy and Outcomes During COVID-19 and Beyond. Fundamentally this talk is an example of how we are trying to amplify the patient voice, and includes insight from Jim Gleason, the President of the Transplant Recipients International Organization (TRIO), and a patient himself!

Dr. Peipert from Northwestern University highlighted the significance of patients having a lot of expertise that no other stakeholder in the care process has, and they can report on aspects of health that help us do the best science and provide the best care. Mr. Gleason shared that amplifying the patient voice means being equally honest with patients and keeping the line of communication open. He stated, “to give the patient what they need when they need it, is to ensure a long healthy quality of life.” Dr. Waterman discussed that patient activation measures are being built into care to lead to successful health behaviors, shared decision-making, and better patient outcomes - emphasizing patient-centered care!

Our partners, the Transplant Recipients International Organization (TRIO), spoke at the 2022 Transplant Games in San Diego about their Post-Cancer Transplant project, which is focused on education about post-transplant cancer risk, prevention, and treatment. For those that did not get a chance to attend, we would like to share a link to the Post-Transplant Cancer project. This article brings awareness to transplant recipients of their increased risk for cancer. In collaboration with Dr. Amy Waterman, TRIO developed a website dedicated to educating patients and their families on the most accurate and up-to-date cancer-related medical information from medical experts, tailored by organ transplant type. We are so proud of our partners!

The Patient Engagement, Disparities, & Research Lab would like to introduce Alexa Sokhon, our Undergraduate Research Intern. Alexa joined us this May and has been working on Dr. LaShara Davis’s new Edutainment project and assisting with research-related activities for the lab. She recently presented a poster at the Methodist Association of Postdoctoral and Trainee Affairs Symposium (MAPTA), titled “Linked by Love: Relatability and Cultural Appropriateness of an Edutainment Series about CKD in an African American Family”. Alexa is an upcoming senior at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, majoring in Cell and Molecular Biology with a minor in Medical Humanities. She hopes to become a physician and advocate for health disparities within the medical community. We are so happy to have her on our team!

There are more than 400,000 individuals living in the United States with an organ transplant, and more than 105,000 on the waiting list. The transplant journey lasts a lifetime, and few comprehensive resources exist. The community is invited to attend a live screening of the new docuseries, Letters of Hope, offered at the West Hills campus of Thermo Fisher Scientific on August 11th. In Letters of Hope, Valen Keefer, creator and dual-transplant recipient, provides patient-to-patient education she wishes she had. The screening, which can also be streamed virtually, will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Valen Keefer, representatives from Thermo Fisher Scientific, the series producer and/or other transplant recipients.

The live screening can be accessed online at:

The White House’s U.S. Digital Service conducted a report on the transplant procurement process and found several discrepancies with matching patients to donated organs, which was shared in the latest news article from The Washington Post. They strongly advocate revamping the transplant procurement process in addressing “aged software, periodic system failures, mistakes in programming, and overreliance on manual input of data”, as well as an immediate action to protect against cyber threats.

We are excited to announce that Dr. LaShara Davis has received the Kidney Health Equity Community Engagement Award from the National Kidney Foundation (NKF)!

This $75,000 grant award is designed to support research that prevents, reduces, or eliminates kidney health disparities while advancing health equity in local communities at high risk for kidney disease. With this funding, Dr. Davis plans to expand the use of digital storytelling to design health messages about kidney disease that better connect with African American/Black patients, increase awareness of the relationship between kidney disease, hypertension, and diabetes, and motivate actions to monitor their kidney function. We are so honored and would like to thank Dr. Gaber for his support, and Laurie Minze for her assistance with grant administration.
