Kidney Connect is a community awareness event specifically designed as a multidisciplinary approach and call to action for the improvement of health and well-being of the African American community with an emphasis on kidney disease prevention and education while providing tools and resources to the community to better their health. According to the National Kidney Foundation, African Americans are four-times more likely to have kidney disease and this event will help dive in to interactive discussions with healthcare professions from a variety of clinical specialties where kidney disease is affected, discuss family history and the barriers and health disparities that uniquely impact the African American community.

Thank you for our partnership with Blue Zones Jacksonville and The Bethel Church for making this event possible.
