The audio podcast discussion will give listeners a deeper understanding of the slogan and why it’s important. Dr. Falk explained that promoting the slogan at the national meeting on the lanyards would help spread the message.

“My hope is, is that with that message around their neck, that message will then translate to what they tell their patients. To have family members, ask the question, to their own providers, “Hey Doc, How are My Kidneys?”® It is an effort to continue the Kidney Education Outreach Program, not just in our state, but in a broader international context.”
