OUR IMPACT

We helped communities all across Illinois learn more about kidney donation, and take a proactive approach to transplantation through our participation in: 

 

The Big Ask/The Big Give

we invested $1.4 Million in programs and services

We brought just over 4,000

patients, family members, and medical practitioners together to participate in a massive health and advocacy demonstration.

WE brought new  young investigators into the field, and awarded
a new grant researching gene therapy

We tested nearly 3,500 Illinois residents for common kidney disease risk factors, and through our education initiatives, we connected with more than 70,000 patients, families and caretakers via seminars, lectures, and webinars.

Our KidneyMobile® program provided nearly 60 free kidney disease prevention screenings in every corner of Illinois.

 

70% of the screened participants had at least one abnormal test result, and more than 45% were immediately referred to a physician or health center.
