We know it can be overwhelming finding out you or a loved one has kidney disease. But you are not alone. There is a large network of resources out there that many people don’t realize even exists. Our educational resources, programs and events provide the information you need to make the best decisions for your health and feel empowered.
For this reason, we have compiled a collection of external resources below that will help you or a loved one with furthering education, finding assistance, or becoming a donor. We hope you can use these resources to build a network of support to assist you through your journey.
