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.

Back to School with Kidney Disease

Back-to-school planning can look different for families of children with kidney disease. From school accommodations to communication with teachers and nurses, thoughtful preparation can help children stay engaged in learning while managing their health needs.

Immunization Is Part of Kidney Health

For people living with kidney disease, immunization can be an important part of preventive care. Recommendations may vary based on age, treatment, and immune status, making conversations with doctors and kidney care teams especially important.
