National Kidney Foundation of Illinois Raises Awareness about Silent Killer Disease
November 2, 2025 - 04:45
The National Kidney Foundation of Illinois is shedding more light on a disease known as a silent killer. In an effort to combat the rising prevalence of kidney disease, the foundation has launched an initiative called 'KidneyMobile.' This program aims to provide free health screenings to communities across Illinois, focusing on early detection and prevention.
Kidney disease often goes unnoticed until it reaches advanced stages, making awareness and education crucial. The KidneyMobile van travels to various locations, offering services such as blood pressure checks, blood tests, and consultations with healthcare professionals. By reaching underserved populations, the initiative seeks to identify individuals at risk and connect them with necessary resources.
The foundation emphasizes the importance of regular screenings, particularly for those with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney disease. Through this outreach, the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois hopes to empower communities with knowledge and support, ultimately improving health outcomes and saving lives.
