Myles’s Journey to a New Kidney
Heidi Tirado and her young son, Myles, faced a challenging kidney journey that began before he was born. After months of treatment, Heidi was able to donate a kidney to her son. Their story also highlights the support and sense of community they found through Northwest Kidney Kids, a partner of the Northwest Kidney Council.
Chronic Disease Month: Turning Patient Voices Into Action
July is Chronic Disease Month, an opportunity to recognize the experiences of people who manage long-term health conditions and to make sure their voices are included in the decisions that affect their care. The Northwest Kidney Council was happy to join the chronic disease community for the Chronic Disease Day live event on July 10.
How Common Is Chronic Kidney Disease?
When people hear the words “chronic disease,” they may first think of heart disease, cancer or diabetes. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) does not always receive the same level of attention, but its prevalence places it firmly within the nation’s chronic disease conversation.
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.
