Patient Summit
On November 1st, we hosted our first ever Patient Summit. Patient Summit brought together doctors, patients, caregivers, and pharmaceutical companies for a day fulled of empowering talks and breakout sessions. The goal of the event was to help foster a community of those impacted by kidney disease. We hope those who came to the event enjoyed and feel free to reach out with any feedback!
Monthly Chats
Each month Anjay Rastogi, MD, PhD, and the UCLA Health CORE Kidney Team host a highly informative monthly chat. Our previous chats have covered important topics like living with kidney disease, nutrition, and even dentistry advice. We hope you'll join us for our next monthly chat on December 1st!

In the previous years of being a part of this parade, the float won the prestigious 2024 Isabella Coleman Award for the most outstanding presentation of color and color harmony through floral design.
