KIDNEYWORKS

The national non-profits American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP) and Medical Education Institute (MEI) partnered to develop KidneyWorks™. This patient advocacy program is designed to identify working-age people with Stage 3-5 CKD-those whose kidney function is less than 60%-and to promote job retention as a key means for these individuals to continue to pursue their life aspirations with health insurance, income and an enhanced quality of life... Founded in 1969, AAKP is the nation's largest and oldest independent kidney patient advocacy and education organization and is governed by a patient-majority Board of Directors. Founded in 1993, The Medical Education Institute is a non-profit organization comprised of a team of experienced researchers, writers, editors, designers, social workers, and patient education experts with decades of experience in healthcare communications and whose mission is to help people with chronic diseases learn to manage and improve their health.
