We are excited to announce that the state of Maryland has officially proclaimed March as National Kidney Month! Thank you to @GovWesMoore, @LtGovMiller, and their team for working with NKF and our counterparts to help raise awareness about CKD in the state of MD.

[Kindness for Kidneys @KKidneys]

This is where Kindness for Kidneys was conceived. When our founder, @Srouse815, walked into the dialysis center for her first treatment, her life changed forever. She couldn’t believe her eyes, & she couldn’t believe people weren’t talking more about kidney disease.

[National Kidney Foundation @nkf]
