American Association of Kidney Patients
We are in need of some volunteers that have access to a home computer. Your tasks would vary but may include searching for primary care physicians in all 50 states so that we can build a referral list for our patient members. We also need to research programs and resources; such as transportation for dialysis patients in various states and entering information into a spreadsheet.
Please contact us for more information.
