Patient Stories
Loyita K. Ridge
I never knew when or if I was going to get that call, but it’s all worth it.
Loyita Ridge was on dialysis when she went into renal failure. Doctors determined that she needed a transplant to save her life. It took her six and a half years to finally get a kidney transplant at Willis Knighton John C. McDonald Transplant Center, but she says it was worth it.
