Chronic Kidney Disease Awareness and Prevention Program

To recognize National Kidney Month, the IPRO QIN-QIO launched an educational video series to increase patient health literacy and help patients make informed choices about preventing and managing chronic kidney disease (CKD).

These videos cover important CKD-related topics, including prevention, screening and diagnosis, and management. The series was designed with input from diverse IPRO QIN-QIO Patient and Family Advisory Council members. You are encouraged to share these videos with your patients, residents, and their families. We’ll add more videos soon, so bookmark this page and check back frequently.
