COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER CONTINUES BELOW
PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS FREE RESOURCE  Over 14 years ago we found out that my father had irreversible kidney damage that would lead to kidney failure. Eventually his kidneys failed and he spent a little over a year on dyalisis. Then one Saturday morning we received a phone call that a kidney had become available for his transplant. Today my father is still with us and his kidney continues to keep on right along with the rest of him. I always reflect on that life changing experience and the effect it had on our family. My fathers kidney failure was not preventable but most kidney damage and failure is. The first step is just to get tested. Symptoms many times do not become present until damage has already occurred. Please take advantage of this free service this weekend and tell your friends.
