Promoting safety and access to quality care

Founded in 2019, the Northwest Kidney Council is as a coalition supporting patient advocates, health care professionals, care providers and researchers committed to shaping smart policy for individuals battling kidney disease in the Northwest.

2026 World Kidney Day Health Resource Fair

Throughout Kidney Month, the Northwest Kidney Council (NWKC) has been on-the-ground advocating for kidney dialysis patients and the providers who care for them.

​

Building on the momentum of last year’s World Kidney Health Day Resource Fair, NWKC staff traveled to Portland, Oregon, to participate in the 2026 Kidney Health Resource Fair at Portland State University.

Governors Proclaim March as Kidney Month in Washington and Oregon

The Northwest Kidney Council (NWKC) extends our sincere gratitude to the Governors of both Washington and Oregon for recognizing March as Kidney Month and helping elevate awareness of chronic kidney disease across the Pacific Northwest, especially kidney dialysis patients who rely on regular, life-sustaining treatment.

Recently in Olympia: Session Update

As the 2026 short session continues in Olympia, the Northwest Kidney Council (NWKC) remains focused on advancing legislation that improves outcomes for kidney dialysis patients and the providers who care for them. In the past month, NWKC has seen meaningful progress on two key bills directly impacting kidney dialysis patients and providers.
