During the month of October, DHR Health would like to remind the community that it is home to only "Breast Center of Excellence," accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). This is a designation DHR Health has had since 2015 and is the only Breast Center of Excellence found south of San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and Laredo. 

The significance of DHR Health Transplant Institute’s latest recognition extends far beyond a hospital ranking. It raises a larger question for South Texas: Has the Rio Grande Valley reached the point where patients can look to the region not only for local healthcare, but for nationally competitive transplant medicine?
