Texas Governor Greg Abbott has recently appointed two new members to the state's Chronic Kidney Disease Task Force, as they tackle the daunting challenge of kidney health across the Lone Star State. The task force, which operates the state’s plan for preventing and treating chronic kidney disease, now welcomes Roberta “Bobbi” Wager and Hussein Musa, M.D., whose terms do not have a set expiration date and continue at the discretion of the Governor, as reported by the Office of the Texas Governor.
Wager, a retired nurse from Boerne, brings a wealth of experience and a portfolio of community service. Her roles include membership in the American Nephrology Nurses Association and presidency of the Texas Renal Coalition. Notable for her advocacy, Wager is actively engaged with the Kidney Research Institute Patient Advisory Committee and lends her time to Meals on Wheels in Kendall County. Her academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Incarnate Word.
Dr. Hussein Musa complements the task force with his expertise in pain medicine and a passion for accessible healthcare. Currently directing pain medicine at the Kingdom Healing Institute and founding The Kingdom Healthcare System, Musa is an advocate for a free market approach in medical services. His engagement with the medical community spans several key roles, such as his presidency of the San Antonio Free Market Medical Association and secretary position at the C.A. Whittier Medical Society. He also contributes as as Medical Advisor for the Texas Kidney Foundation and serves his community as a Deacon at LifeShare Church. Musa's education was acquired through a Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign followed by a Doctor of Medicine from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.
