Get Involved with the Ending Health Disparities Summit
- The National Kidney Foundation is advancing a Collective Impact strategy to develop and advance equitable solutions to improve CKD testing and diagnosis in primary care.
- The Ending Disparities Summit will convene stakeholders to participate in a series of “Learning in Action” meetings.
- From these Learning in Action meetings, NKF and partners will develop a road map to drive a cultural shift in primary care — toward increasing the early diagnosis and management of CKD, especially in communities where the burden of CKD is felt most acutely.
- For more information on participating in this Summit, contact Anna Tzinis today!
