About NKF Cares:
Our Patient Information Help Line, NKF Cares, offers support for people affected by kidney disease, organ donation or transplantation. It's designed just for patients, family members and care partners. Speak with a trained specialist who will answer your questions and listen to your concerns.
Challenge your staff to join the fight against kidney disease with a hands-on, in-office volunteer event. You and your team can assemble care packages for dialysis patients in the community where you live and work — brighten their spirits and make the long hours of treatment a little more bearable.
