Partnership for quality,
safety and access to care
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.
Honoring the Heart of Kidney Care: Caregiver Appreciation Day
To honor Caregiver Appreciation Day (celebrated on the third Friday of February each year), NWKC pauses to recognize a group of people whose work often happens quietly, behind the scenes, and without recognition: caregivers. For individuals living with chronic kidney disease, caregivers are often the steady presence that makes everything else possible.
Our Partners
We can't do this work alone. The Northwest Kidney Council is grateful to have so many partners throughout the Pacific Northwest aligned with our mission to advance access to kidney care.
