Ensuring Equitable Access to Optimal Kidney Care
We're building NEKC to include membership from a diverse group of nephrologists across various sectors, including academia, public health and policy. We're under the umbrella of our larger organization, The National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF). Our members are passionate about health equity and are committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of those disproportionately affected by kidney disease.
