EVENT UPDATE – REGARDING CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19):
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19), and the need to take appropriate precautions to protect those most at risk. Your health and safety are our priority.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), older adults and people with kidney disease or other chronic conditions are at greater risk of experiencing serious Coronavirus illness. It is especially important for patients to take preventive measures aimed at reducing the likelihood of exposure. This includes avoiding crowds and public spaces.
Here in Boston, our NKF Honors Event will be postponed to a date to be determined, September, 2020. We believe this decision, though not ideal, is in the best interest of the entire kidney community and is necessary to protect the patients and families at the heart of our organization’s mission.
Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Our teams are making every effort to reschedule these critical opportunities where appropriate and promise to keep you apprised of any updates.
In the interim:
- Read our kidney patient preparedness guide to reducing your Coronavirus risk.
- All previously purchased sponsorships and registrations will be honored at the rescheduled event.
Thank you for your understanding, generosity and support. We look forward to welcoming you to a future NKF event in the very near future.
Please contact Donna.nickerson@kidney.org with any questions.
Medicare alone spends $87 billion caring for individuals with kidney disease. Go from "zero" to "kidney consciousness" in less than 3 minutes with our Your Kidneys and You video! This can be embedded on corporate Intranets as part of an employee wellness program, shown at community health fairs, or shared with members of your organization.
Does your company have a volunteer day? Ask them to consider a Drive for Dialysis Event! These are great volunteer events hosted at corporate locations for staff to learn about kidney disease and put together bags of items for dialysis patients. The volunteers are provided with materials that are helpful to local dialysis patients to be pulled together in a tote bag and they add a personal message for the bag recipient. NKF then delivers these bags to a local dialysis center. Staff learn about kidney health, hear from a patient speaker, and create care packages that are very meaningful for local patients.
