“We appreciate the generous public support of the National Kidney Foundation over the years,” remarked Judy Norman, vice president of the division. “In 1950, when the NKF was founded, there were no dialysis treatments or transplants, which meant people with kidney failure had no form of treatment and did not survive. Today, individuals and families with kidney disease can often enjoy rich and productive lives.”
Through its offices nationwide, the NKF provides early detection screenings, valuable public and professional education, research for new treatments and therapies, and vital services to people with kidney disease, dialysis patients, transplant recipients and organ donors.
The need for our services remains critical. Twenty-six million Americans, one in nine adults, have chronic kidney disease and another 20 million are at risk.
“As we commemorate our 60th anniversary, we ask you to join us in recommitting ourselves to the fight against kidney disease,” finished Norman.
