The National Kidney Foundation of Illinois improves the health and well-being of people at risk for or affected by kidney disease through prevention, education and empowerment. Your kidneys play the important role of cleaning your body s blood and removing waste and excess fluid. Every 30 minutes, your kidneys filter all the blood in your body, acting as your body s natural filtration system. Kidney disease is characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function over time, and kills more than 90,000 Americans every year. 1 in 3 American adults is at high risk for developing kidney disease. KidneyMobile Health Screenings The KidneyMobile is the nation s first mobile screening and education vehicle for kidney disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. It travels throughout Illinois, focusing on medically underserved communities to provide comprehensive early detection screenings and education to individuals considered most at risk. Patient Education & Professional Programs Throughout the year, various educational programs and support are provided for individuals living with or at risk for kidney disease, their families and caregivers. Additionally, hundreds of healthcare professionals in Illinois belong to the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois Professional Advisory Board and medical councils, all of whom develop educational programs for their members and work with the foundation s staff and committees to provide information, education and programs for patients. Public Education & Advocacy Through national awareness days and public education events, the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois advocates on behalf of patients throughout the state. Working with legislative partners guarantees thoughtful policies are in place for individuals living with kidney disease as well as dialysis patients and transplant recipients. Additionally, teaming up with healthcare providers and sharing the latest treatment information and practices ensures patients receive the best possible care. Join us to prevent kidney disease, educate the public about risk factors and empower patients and their families to live healthier lives! Prevent. Educate. Empower.
