Patient Summit
On November 1st, we hosted our first ever Patient Summit. The Patient Summit brought together doctors, patients, caregivers, and pharmaceutical companies for a day full 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 it. Please 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!
