Created in 1955, NKFM focuses on the causes of kidney disease which are obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Since, they have informed the public about theses causes increasing awareness among the community. Their efforts have changed legislation, ensured quality care for patients, and advance medical knowledge.
Through their programs NKFM has enhanced the lives of many Michigan residents through their patient services, prevention programs, education programs, children’s programs and research.
Last year, their 10th Annual Kidney Ball raised over $500,000 to help fight kidney disease. This year, The National Kidney Foundation will continue their efforts to promote a healthier community through prevention and awareness.
Congratulations!
