If you’ve ever wondered what you can do about the problem of kidney disease in our community, I have an idea for you.

Hi, I’m Dr. Griffin Rodgers, bringing you Healthy Moments. I’m the director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases at NIH.

Recently, you’ve been hearing from Reverend Cobb about his battle with kidney disease. He’s also educating his congregation…

“Each year we host a community health fair along with classes on different health topics, and we keep our men and women aware of free testing done throughout the city.”

You don’t need to be a pastor to spread the word about preventing or delaying kidney disease in your place of worship. With the support of your faith leader, you can introduce our Kidney Sundays Toolkit – and start the conversation. The Toolkit includes materials that are easy to use in a wide range of settings.

To download the Toolkit, visit our website at NIDDK. This is Dr. Griffin Rodgers. Join me next week for more Healthy Moments.
