Northwest Kidney Council

The Northwest Kidney Council is a U.S. nonprofit organization established in 2019, dedicated to advancing kidney health advocacy in the Pacific Northwest. 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.

Advocacy Efforts

  • Patient Advocacy: The council works to ensure patients have access to safe, high-quality care. It protects patient choice and supports need-based financial programs.
  • Policy Influence: It engages policymakers to address significant issues impacting dialysis patients and providers. The focus areas include improving healthcare access, reducing disparities, and expanding preventive care.
  • Community Engagement: The council encourages story sharing to help policymakers and patients understand the daily challenges of living with and treating chronic kidney disease.

Organizational Impact

The Northwest Kidney Council plays a crucial role in raising awareness about kidney disease. For instance, it supports the recognition of National Kidney Month to drive awareness and expand access to care for the millions of Americans living with chronic kidney disease.

Collaborations and Partnerships

The council collaborates with various stakeholders throughout the Pacific Northwest, aligning its mission with other organizations to advance access to kidney care. Through these partnerships, it supports legislative initiatives that enhance health outcomes and equity for kidney patients and their care providers.
