The National Kidney Foundation serving Maryland and Delaware aims to revolutionize the fight to save lives by eliminating preventable kidney disease, accelerating innovation for the dignity of the patient experience, and dismantling structural inequities in kidney care, dialysis, and transplantation. Donna Hanes joined Spotlight on Maryland to spread awareness about kidney disease and to share all of the good things NKFMDDE has done for the community. Donna Hanes is a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology. She is the past Chair and current member of the State of Maryland Commission on Kidney Disease, and incoming co-chair of NKFMDDE's advisory board. Through her experience she shared knowledge about how kidney disease effects people, and how to get it treated.
NKFMDDE is hosting its Sante: Giving Back for Kidney Disease event on May 8th from 6:30-9:30 PM. Funds raised at Sante will support NKFMDDE’s local patient emergency assistance program, providing essentials such as transportation, rent/utility relief, food, and other life essentials that we take for granted. The money raised will also help fund vital research that helps advance knowledge about chronic kidney disease. Click here to purchase tickets. Click here to learn more.
