It operates as a coalition, supporting patient advocates, healthcare professionals, care providers, and researchers focused on shaping effective policies for individuals battling kidney disease.
Mission and Goals
The Northwest Kidney Council aims to promote safety and access to quality care for individuals with kidney disease. It advocates for policies that remove barriers to care, improve care coordination, and support innovation within kidney care. The council also educates policymakers about the systemic, economic, and personal challenges faced by people with kidney disease.
