what people say

“It was great to have the Kidney Team come to our school and present the importance of the kidney. So much emphasis is out on heart health (which is important), but did you know that the kidney is just as important? It was nice that I was able to share my kidney transplant story with my students in the context of this presentation.”

During the time of the presentation, my son had a friend that was in the hospital because he suffers from Nephrotic Syndrome. Because of the presentation my son was able to see the importance of kidneys and why his friend was in the hospital. It was so informative and my son enjoyed it!

My granddaughter, who is 7, really enjoyed the question segment where everyone could shout out the answer if they knew it….She was excited to tell her mother that she got to talk to a real doctor! Thanks so much for your time!
