NYU Winthrop Hospital will offer a free educational and support group session, “Wellness and Transplant,” on Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 pm.
The session will focus on nutrition and exercise for individuals who are either a candidate for a kidney, heart or liver transplant or for those who are in the post-transplant stage. It will be held at the NYU Winthrop Research and Academic Center, located at 101 Mineola Boulevard, at the corner of Second Street in Mineola.
The group will be facilitated by Mary Rzeszut, transplant clinical social worker at NYU Winthrop Hospital, and Lourdes Rodriguez-Eisenberg, renal dietitian at the NYU Winthrop Outpatient Dialysis Center. Sessions are free, but reservations are required. For further information or to reserve your place, please call Mary Rzeszut at (516) 287-1369.
The session is part of NYU Winthrop Hospital and NYU Langone Health Transplant Institute’s collaborative effort to provide Long Islanders with direct access to NYU Langone’s world-class transplant team for heart, liver and kidney transplants. Evaluations will be conducted in at NYU Winthrop Hospital in Mineola, while the actual transplants will be performed at NYU Langone Health Center in New York City.
