Other Things We Are Working On
Patient Education
Missed a patient education webinar?
No worries! Review the latest information about kidney disease, transplantation, and nutrition. Our popular program, Cooking with Konfidence has been conducted in Chinese and Spanish.
Patient Stories
Read the stories of patients as they discuss their experiences with kidney disease and dialysis. This National Kidney Foundation resource book is provided by support from Vertex Pharmaceuticals.
Interviews for the Patient Storybook are now closed! We will be adding the new Patient Storybook HERE once it is completed in early 2025. Interested in learning more about the Patient Storybook? Take a look at our 2024 version by clicking the button below.
Advocacy
Here is what the staff at NKF New England are working on!
Employee Wellness
Your Kidneys & You
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.
For information on the above program please contact Program Director, Desirae Vasquez, at Desirae.Vasquez@kidney.org .
Ask Your Employer About Participating in a Drive For Dialysis Event!
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.
Hosting a Drive for Dialysis event is easy! Ask your company if they would have a volunteer event for staff with our out-of-the-box program. We'll work with the company to design a volunteer opportunity that meets your company's unique needs! For more information please contact Desirae Vasquez at Desirae.Vasquez@kidney.org .
