Back in the saddle after a kidney transplant

You may remember Gabriele Ellis, a Port Angeles Peritoneal Dialysis patient whose story we featured in a video and on our website. With home dialysis, she kept her dream alive – running a small farm in Sequim. Today, she’s 5 months post-transplant and already back on a horse, enjoying this new chapter of life.

Honor your care team H.E.R.O.!

Many patients ask how they can say thank you to their care team. The H.E.R.O. program offers a meaningful way to honor caregivers who’ve been there for you. With a donation of any amount, the care team members you recognize receive a H.E.R.O. pin, and your gift helps support patient care and special programs like palliative care and free CKD education. Learn more.

“Amy has been everything to me. She’s helped me so much, I’ve never had someone be so great in my corner. … she is the pilot to my plane.”

Adrian Allen has been on kidney dialysis for almost 12 years, but if you ask him what keeps him going, he’ll tell you it’s his family, his determination, and one very special social worker – Amy Postel. As a patient at Burien Kidney Center, Adrian has received not just medical treatment but also life-changing support.
