MN NKF Board Member, Educator
Shirly Yang joined the NKF Serving Minnesota Board because she experienced firsthand how kidney failure ravaged her family and Hmong community and felt compelled to take action. Minnesota has the second-largest US Hmong population in which CKD is very prevalent. Shirly educates Hmong students and families, and serves as translator at kidney screenings, health fairs, and at an educational event with the Hmong American Partnership in St. Paul. Shirly is an NKF champion through and through, supporting financially, participating in Kidney Walks and the Gala.
