During national volunteer week in April, members of our leadership team kicked off a green space stewardship project at a community green space near our Rainier Beach Kidney Center. Our project partner is the Rainier Beach Action Coalition, which works to improve community safety, increase resources and build opportunities for neighborhood residents. The ongoing project includes trimming bushes, pruning trees, digging up blackberry brambles, raking leaves and picking up litter.

Aurora delayed dialysis for over a year, overwhelmed by her fear of needles and frequent clinic visits. However, the care team at Northwest Kidney Centers’ Lake City clinic helped ease her fears. Despite tough days and moments of wanting to quit, they supported her through each treatment. After years on the transplant waitlist, Aurora finally received a kidney. Your generous donations make this vital wrap-around care possible, helping patients like Aurora overcome their fears and improve their kidney health.
