The kidney health screening is designed to identify and educate individuals at increased risk for developing kidney disease. Individuals at increased risk are those with diabetes and/or high blood pressure or with a family history of high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney disease. The purpose of the screening is to delay or prevent the development of chronic kidney disease.

​

Participants will have physical measurements taken, along with blood and urine samples to determine their kidney function. An on-site medical professional will review these results with participants who will receive educational materials about preventing and treating kidney disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
