Greetings!
 We are busy preparing for RSN's Celebrity Charity Poker Tournament and Holiday HOPEfest Boutique this Saturday. These last few weeks I have been sharing my story to help promote the events and have met so many people who have a connection to chronic kidney disease and want to help. By telling my story and advocating for others I have met the most amazing people. It is rewarding to engage with your local community. |

Kerri discusses with me all the things you can do and look for to prevent an infection, especially in the dialysis unit. Listen Now
