Do you know how your kidneys are doing, or whether diabetes or high blood pressure is putting them at risk?
Who qualifies
This program is open to anyone in our service area. There is no income or insurance requirement.
How to start
Call us or send the form. An agent will confirm whether you qualify and book your first appointment.
What is chronic kidney disease?
Chronic kidney disease means the kidneys have been damaged and no longer filter the
blood as well as they should. It develops slowly, over years, and in the early stages
it gives no warning at all — no pain, nothing you would notice.
The two most common causes are diabetes and high blood pressure: the same two things
we measure free at every event we hold. That is why these programs belong together.
Keeping your sugar and your pressure under control is the main thing that protects
your kidneys.
Kidney disease is found with a blood test and a urine test. If you live with diabetes
or high blood pressure and nobody has ever checked your kidneys, tell us — we will
explain which tests to ask for and refer you for them.
