Josefina Csabon lived with diabetes for 30 years before being diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure. She kept her diagnosis from her family because she didn't want to be a burden. During her daughter's wedding in 2018, Josefina nearly collapsed and her family knew drastic steps needed to be taken.

Josefina began dialysis soon thereafter and it became apparent that a kidney transplant was needed. Josefina and her family were told by her doctors in California that the wait time for a kidney transplant would be 7 to 15 years. They immediately began researching out-of-state options and the program that popped up with the shortest wait times and best outcomes was Medical City Fort Worth. Medical City Fort Worth assesses each patient individually for the most appropriate plan of care versus being tied down to one size fits all rigid criteria and guidelines which allows for some of the nation's shortest wait times and best outcomes.

After getting on the wait list at Medical City Fort Worth, Josefina only had to wait three months for her life-saving transplant. She is now able to live a normal life and spend quality time with her family.
