Collaborate

Urban Kidney Alliance aims to improve education, awareness, and early detection of chronic kidney disease and health-related conditions in urban communities at-risk for this disease. To achieve our objectives, Urban Kidney Alliance works in collaboration with a range of nonprofits, community organizations, and other health education establishments to raise awareness among communities and individuals at risk for chronic kidney disease.

In addition, our purpose is to promote the need for testing; provide information, training, and tools to help individuals and communities raise their awareness for chronic kidney disease and other health-related conditions. In order, to achieve these task, Urban Kidney Alliance collaborates with community stakeholders to assist with health educational and promotion programs to increase community awareness and change health behaviors.

African Americans are at highest risk for kidney failure and, as such, Urban Kidney Alliance places a distinct emphasis on reaching out to urban communities and individuals at risk for kidney disease.
