Education

Being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease brings up a lot of questions. We empower people to live to their fullest with accurate information about transplantation and dialysis, and nutrition to improve survival. We also work in the community to reach out to those at risk and let them know ways to stay healthy.

DID YOU

KNOW?

20 million are at increased risk for kidney disease. Early detection and treatment can help prevent more serious kidney disease and other complications.

Outreach Events

Each year we exhibit at dozens of health fairs and sponsor our own outreach events for people at risk for kidney disease.

Eating Well, Living Well

This program, developed by Northwest Kidney Centers, empowers people with information.

Renal Fellow Grants

We provide fellowships at the University of Washington to help make sure there will be enough kidney doctors in the future.

Northwest Kidney Centers keeps people in the Seattle area alive with dialysis care, educates the public about kidney health, and collaborates with UW Medicine in the Kidney Research Institute. We are one of very few community-based, nonprofit dialysis providers in the country. Founded in 1962, ours was the first out-of-hospital dialysis program in the world and it is still a model in the field.
