Helping Our Neighbors
 “I feel if there was no Kidney Foundation to help me I would have missed a lot of dialysis treatments and not have taken a lot of needed medications. I thank God for such an organization.” (Patient)
In 2005, the P.R.O.M.I.S.E. program provided services to low-income, disabled and special needs kidney patients through:
Transportation to Dialysis
61,620 trips were provided for 395 patients going to life sustaining dialysis, up to 156 trips per patient per year.
Renal Medications
3,904 renal medications were provided to 244 patients, up to 16 per patient per month.
Medical Supplies
22,200 blood pressures were measured for 185 patients, who were provided with essential blood pressure monitors, allowing for proper medication dosage by measuring pressures up to 120 times per month per patient.
Nutritional Supplements
4,557 nutritional supplements were provided for 49 patients, up to 93 supplements per patient per month.
“There is no other organization that would provide this type of vital assistance to our patients.”
