Sam Watt truly believes that prevention is the best cure, and in his new role as Chairperson for the Chinese Renal Association, he is looking forward to sharing this message on a broader scale.

Affiliated with the Kidney Fund of Canada, the Chinese Renal Association is a committed team of volunteers who work together to enhance quality of care for Chinese-Canadians with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

"For me, this means I can serve people in the Asian community as a leader," says Sam, who has been a member of the association for more than 10 years. "Many Chinese suffer from hypertension and diabetes, which are the foundations for kidney disease. This new role is an opportunity for me to mould education and promote change to drive prevention in these communities."
