Dr. Paul Ackerman is a Dad. He’s a grandfather. He’s spent years learning to become a skilled healer. Over decades he has put that skill to work and brought many back to health, including professional athletes. Now he faces a challenge that his own healing hands cannot solve.
Paul needs a kidney.
Paul is working with the good people at Renewal of Life in Brooklyn, NY. If you feel a call to help as his donor, please contact Renewal to begin testing.
Let Paul explain in his own words.
“I have polycystic kidney disease which is a hereditary disorder in which multiple cyst grow larger in time and destroy the kidneys. This has resulted in end stage kidney disease and my being on dialysis for 5 years. I have two sons and three grandchildren.
I am a practicing orthopedic surgeon for 43 years. In my career I worked with the Islander hockey team in the 1980’s. I was director of orthopedic surgery at North Shore University hospital for ten years. I had a 13 orthopedic surgeon group with offices in five boroughs. Because of my disease I went back to solo practice 4 years a go with an office in Brooklyn.
I have been blessed with spending my life helping people. This has given me great joy. Now I find myself in need of a kidney donor as my condition worsens.”
Donating a kidney is a big decision. Maybe it isn’t something you can do. You can still help Paul in his journey back to health. Share his story. Help spread the word. Someone out there is just the right person to help Paul now. Please help both of them connect.
