Thank you advocates!

Thanks to your efforts, we achieved two significant legislative victories this year!  Electronic consent to be an organ donor, and out of network coverage for dialysis treatment were both passed with your help!  This is what we can achieve when you let your voice be heard! Help educate state and federal legislators about kidney disease and organ donation by joining becoming part of the NKF's "People Like Us" advocacy movement. Let them know how their health policy decisions affect you!
