KEEP
Kidney Early Evaluation Program 
The
National Kidney Foundation's Kidney
Early Evaluation Program is designed to identify those at risk
for kidney disease. Screenings, which include a questionnaire, blood
pressure check and urinalysis, are conducted in cooperation with
schools, churches, community centers and employers throughout the
four-state area. Many ethnic groups, including African Americans,
Asian/Pacific Islanders and Native Americans are at greater risk
for developing kidney disease. We make a special effort to reach
such individuals through churches, health centers and recreation
centers based in those communities.
If
you are 18 years or older and have high blood pressure, diabetes,
or a family history of kidney disease, you should attend one of
the free health screenings in your area. KEEP is funded through
an educational grant from Ortho Biotech Laboratory support is provided
by Satellite Healthcare.
