🧠 Did you know your kidneys are the body’s MASTER REGULATOR?
They don’t just make urine — they control:
💧 Fluid balance
⚡ Electrolytes
🩸 Blood pressure
🧬 Hormones & bone health
🧪 Toxin removal
When kidneys are healthy, your entire body stays in balance.
When they fail, everything is affected.
▶️ Watch the full video to understand what kidneys really do and why protecting them matters more than you think.

"Seeing your sister go through dialysis three days a week and being wiped out completely ... it's not even a question," said Dr. Alice Babst, when thinking of donating a kidney to her sister.

This month, we're celebrating how the Physicians we work with are putting our values into action. Nominated for displaying the CHRISTUS value of "compassion," we're honoring Dr. Abdel Raouf Abushamat!
