About Us

The National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin offers hope, creates change and transforms care for individuals and families who face or live with the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease.

We believe in:

  • • creating public awareness about kidney health and how to prevent or slow the progression of chronic kidney disease
  • • collaborating to make an impact on public health issues like diabetes, obesity and food insecurity
  • • offering connections to reliable resources and compassionate support through our Patient & Caregiver Helpline
  • • supporting innovation and advancing treatment breakthroughs and best practices through research
  • • advocating to policy makers to improve access to dialysis treatment options and increase the number of living donors as well as the number of organs available for transplantation

Founded by patients, family members and medical professionals in 1968, the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin has been committed to helping people and their families every day.
