Help Kidney Advocates raise their voices louder on Capitol Hill at our Annual Kidney Patient Summit!
Every March, kidney advocates from across the country come to our nation’s capital to meet with their lawmakers. Kicking off National Kidney Month, NKF’s annual Kidney Patient Summit is a powerful expression of grassroots advocacy and an important reminder for Members of Congress that kidney disease is a national healthcare priority and growing public health crisis.
Last year, more than 100 advocates met with their lawmakers in-person to stress the urgency around legislation that would protect living kidney donors; expand access to home dialysis; and expand federal programs that promote kidney disease awareness, education, and research.
As we prepare to return to the hill again on March 17-18 for the Kidney Patient Summit, we need your support!
The Kidney Patient Summit is an essential part of our advocacy efforts. Meeting face-to-face with Members of Congress provides us with the opportunity to share the patient, family, and living donor perspectives and bring to life the human impact of legislation and policy decisions affecting kidney patients and living donors. Thank you for helping us bring the patient perspective to Congress and for making a positive impact for kidney patients nationwide.
