The Board of Trustees of the Toledo Community Foundation approved a grant to the Kidney Foundation of Northwest Ohio in the amount of $36,461 to conduct an evaluation of its patient services — which range from financial assistance to educational programs that target prevention and awareness of kidney disease. “We want to collect data to analyze specific opportunities to improve the program,” said executive director Holly Hoagland-Fojtik. The evaluation will look at health behaviors, quality of health, and adherence to renal appointments, adherence to health care provider recommendations and perceived barriers. Interviews with patients, nephrologists, dietitians, medical social workers, and nurses will be conducted as part of the review.

 Did you know the Kidney Foundation of Northwest Ohio won the Better Business Bureau's Torch Award for Ethics? This award celebrates and recognizes local companies that demonstrate integrity and a strong commitment to ethics in all that they do. 

 Your gift can give a patient battling kidney disease access to life-saving care.
