WHERE: The event will be streaming as a virtual healthcare conference, a full-day series of informative webinars.
2022 THEME: The Impact of Awareness, Present, and Future of Chronic Kidney Disease
WHY: To address the issues of advancing the American Kidney Health Initiative. Kidney disease was made a national healthcare priority, in July 2019, via Executive Order. This conference will highlight updates and deliver a focus on updates to draw greater awareness to medical professionals, renal patients, the renal community, and the public.
We see a big opportunity for global collaboration between all stakeholders to strengthen primary healthcare, providing the general community, patients, and caregivers a chance for improved quality of life. Questions continue to arise about living with kidney disease. How do one’s diet and lifestyle affect kidney disease? Does diabetes or high blood pressure lead to kidney disease and, if not properly controlled, long-term dialysis? What new scientific discoveries are in the pipeline promising a more hopeful future for those with CKD?
Registration required for professionals Continuing Education (CEs) 4.0 credits course approved, the qualifications for hours of continuing credit for LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCCs, or LEPs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. CE Registration Fee: $99 Required attendance (via zoom)
WHAT TO EXPECT: This one-day event will feature leading experts, keynote speakers, panel discussions, and workshops. Topics will cover some of the challenges faced by individuals with diabetes and kidney disorders. KQF is meeting this challenge by drawing together experts in several fields relating to renal disease and updating attendees on the latest treatments, clinical trials, and medical advances. It allows both professionals, patients, and the general community to learn about these topics and spread the word more broadly–as CKD has rarely been given the attention it deserves.
