Education
Kidney disease touches all backgrounds and ages; and in its early stages, has no noticeable symptoms. This is why our educational efforts are so important. We address three community needs: patient education, public education and organ donation awareness.
Patient Education
- We provide free printed and web-based education materials to help patients and their family members understand chronic kidney disease.
- We host two annual Patient Education Conferences offered free-of-charge to kidney patients and a family member.
