- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
KEEP Healthy is the National Kidney Foundations front line effort against kidney disease. In local communities across the country, KEEP Healthy provides quick tests and assesses risk factors for early signs of kidney damage. During the screening, patients receive education about ways to keep their kidneys healthy and reduce risk. This is one of NKF's signature programs and the most immediate way we fight kidney disease and help our community.
During a typical KEEP Healthy screening the following services are provided to participants: Risk Survey, Blood pressure check, Body mass index (BMI) measurement, ACR Urine test, Consultation with a clinician, educational materials about living a healthy lifestyle, information about the healthcare marketplace and resources participants can share with their healthcare provider. We are looking for technical (nurses, doctors, physician assistants, etc) and general volunteers to help with this program.
This screening will take place at Berkley Fire Department. We will be providing this screening to those that attend the back to school fair.
