January was rough. Our thoughts are with our beloved LA community as we grieve the huge loss brought on by the many wildfires in our area. The air disasters of the last few days have compounded this pain. Even in these difficult times, our fight against kidney disease goes on.

An important step to bring equity to the #kidney #transplant system. abcnews.go.com/GMA/Wellness/n…

Thank you to our amazing board member Ammiel Najar for creating this fun video for #NationalKidneyMonth ! This week we have some cool kidney facts from USC’s Dr. Eugene Lin coming your way. Stay tuned.

Did you know your kidneys have a higher blood flow than your brain, liver or heart? Your kidneys filter about 180 liters (50 gallons) of blood daily. Here's to Dr. Eugene Lin for providing awesome #kidneyfacts to help us celebrate #NationalKidneyMonth!

Did you know that kidney disease can affect your heart, brain, eyes, skin, muscles, digestion and more? That’s because kidney failure impacts nearly every organ system in the body. #takechargeofyourhealth #kidneyfacts #nationalkidneymonth
