Mission Statement
The Kidney Foundation of Ohio is dedicated to providing a broad-based program of direct assistance to those with kidney disease and promoting and providing educational programming for the general public, renal professionals, and patients and their families.
About This Cause
The Cleveland-based Foundation was founded in 1950 by a group of parents whose children suffered with nephrosis and physicians from Mount Sinai and University Hospitals. As medical advances were made in the renal field, the Kidney Foundation of Ohio’s scope of services and coverage area grew. Initially, the small group of parents and physicians sought to provide services for patients suffering from kidney disease and to encourage and assist basic research. The Foundation soon began to develop educational programs to create professional and public interest. Now it serves a thirty-two county area in northern and eastern Ohio and supports two affiliate chapters in Lake and Summit Counties. Programs for patients and their families include: renal medication assistance and nutritional supplements, transportation reimbursement, emergency grants for basic need items, identification bands for medical emergencies, information and referral services. All of these programs are no cost for patients who qualify for assistance.
