Send us an email to let us know what your organization is doing to improve the detection and care of CKD.
We may feature your work in the next NKDEP News!
The National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP), an initiative of the National Institutes of Health, works to reduce the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially among communities most impacted by the disease. But we can't do it alone.
National and local organizations play an important role in helping NKDEP:
- raise awareness among people at risk for CKD about the need for testing;
- educate people with CKD about how to manage their disease; and
- provide information, training, and tools that help health professionals better identify and manage CKD patients.
We have created a suite of tools, including several digital and online resources, to help organizations inform their members about free NKDEP resources to educate themselves and others about CKD. You can find these materials by selecting the Multimedia and Materials tabs.
