KEOP in North Carolina

The KEOP has 3 major areas of emphasis:

• Educational sessions to raise awareness about CKD and its risk factors
• Screenings for CKD and its risk factors at community events, churches, and elsewhere
• Partnering with other national and local organizations that also promote kidney health such as —
  • North Carolina chapter of the National Kidney Foundation (NCNKF) – KEOP collaborated with NCNKF to screen and educate members of the El Centro Hispano
  • Kidney Disease Screening and Awareness Program (KDSAP) – KEOP collaborated with KDSAP to train undergraduate college students from University of North Carlina at Chapel Hill to screen and educate residents in Carrboro, NC for CKD
