Our mission is to prevent kidney and urinary tract disease, improve the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by these diseases, and increase the availability of all organs for transplant.

Description

Founded in 1954, The National Kidney Foundation serving New England is a major voluntary health agency.

• Through screening and community education, we help high-risk individuals avoid kidney disease or get the best treatment as early as possible.
• Kidney disease patients at all stages turn to the National Kidney Foundation and its affiliates for critical information and support in managing their illness and their medical care.
• By increasing public awareness of organ transplantation and helping people find ways to talk about it with their loved ones, we help increase the supply of available organs of all types.
• Medical education and research supported by the National Kidney Foundation is leading to better and more consistent treatment for all patients at risk for kidney disease.
