Transplant Program A Success!

On Friday, August 7th, 2009 the FIRST Kidney Transplant in El Paso since 2007 occurred at Las Palmas Medical Center. Dr. Hector Diaz-Luna, Medical Director of the Kidney Transplant Program, performed the transplant and Dr. Jorge Acosta, a local surgeon, procured the kidney from the donor. LPMC has two more kidney transplants scheduled for the August-September timeframe. There are currently 100 people awaiting kidney transplants in our community.
