NKF Serving Southern California and Nevada

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major public health issue that is underrecognized and underdiagnosed. While all individuals living with diabetes and or hypertension are at an increased risk for developing CKD, underserved communities are disproportionately impacted. The Ending Disparities in CKD Leadership Summit convenes stakeholders to identify strategies and solutions across sectors to equitably increase early diagnosis and management of CKD. The initiative models the collective impact approach and will create the opportunity to build collaborative partnerships to help advance the recommended strategies for change in southern California. 

Over the past few months, healthcare professionals and community members in southern California have convened to discuss barriers, solutions, and equitable implementation strategies to improve early testing and diagnosis. 

In collaboration with these diverse leaders, the National Kidney Foundation is eager for you to join us virtually on Tuesday, June 24th from 9:00-11:00AM PT to share our findings.
