Sam is a former dialysis patient of 17 years, transplant recipient, and now a patient advocate/motivational speaker. Sam's upbeat attitude and humor enabled him to develop "Urine Inspiration", a presentation aimed at educating everyone about living a full life in the face of medical challenges.
This past year, Lacye developed GBS, which lead to her requiring acute dialysis. Sam and Lacye will share how it feels to trade the care giver and care receiver responsibilities.
Sam and Lacye’s mission is to help patients, patient's families, and medical staff learn how to communicate and understand each other's different perspectives, as they navigate through various signs and symptoms, treatment options, and the possibilities of living a full life with CKD.
