The Dennis Bligen Kidney Foundation is a non-profit organization based in New York, NY, dedicated to raising awareness and providing support for individuals and communities affected by kidney disease, particularly within Black communities. Through conversations, educational events, and expert insights, the foundation aims to address the disproportionate impact of kidney disease on Black individuals, highlighting the structural racism inherent in its diagnosis and treatment. With a focus on promoting kidney health and empowering individuals to take proactive measures, the foundation strives to improve outcomes and quality of life for those living with chronic kidney disease.
Working in collaboration with leading kidney specialist Dr. Kirk Campbell and real New Yorkers who have firsthand experience with kidney disease, the Dennis Bligen Kidney Foundation offers a platform for learning about the specific challenges faced by Black communities in relation to kidney health. By exploring topics such as the unfair impact of kidney disease, changes in diagnostic tests, and strategies to prevent or delay kidney failure, the foundation aims to equip individuals with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed decisions about their health. Through its initiatives, the foundation seeks to bridge the gap in organ transplantation disparities and advocate for health equity within the Black community.
