💚 A Mother's Love. A Life-Changing Gift. A Second Chance. 💚
When Nancy was pregnant with her first child, her kidneys suddenly began to fail. What followed was a journey filled with unimaginable challenges, dialysis, the heartbreaking loss of her premature baby, and the uncertainty of waiting for a life-saving transplant.
Yet through grief, resilience, and hope, Nancy received a perfectly matched kidney transplant in 2007 that transformed her life.
Today, 18 years later, Nancy is thriving. Her transplant gave her the opportunity to become a mother again, advocate for others through the National Kidney Foundation, and dedicate her life to helping transplant patients and donors find hope.
✨ "The best thing I ever did was get a kidney transplant, even though it was extraordinarily scary."
Nancy's story is a powerful reminder that even in life's darkest moments, hope can lead to healing, purpose, and new beginnings.

✨ Reflecting on an inspiring experience at the 2026 Medicine and Religion Conference ✨
Drs. Waterman and Nielsen had the incredible opportunity to attend, where leaders from across healthcare came together to discuss the importance of providing whole-patient healing and compassionate care. 💙🩺
Over three impactful days, we learned from some of medicine’s brightest minds, including Dr. Peter Hotez, who shared his powerful perspective on “Science Tikkun”, a philosophy inspired by Judaism focused on repairing a fractured world through scientific knowledge, compassion, justice, and the common good. 🌎✨
The conference also reinforced how vital chaplains are within healthcare teams. Their work supporting patients and families during some of life’s darkest and most difficult moments is truly invaluable. 🙏💫
As healthcare continues to evolve, it is more important than ever that we support interdisciplinary care teams that nurture not only physical healing, but emotional and spiritual well-being too.
