This month, take a few minutes to appreciate your kidneys.
Just in time for March National Kidney Disease Prevention Month and April National Donate Life Month, the Mendez National Institute of Transplantation Foundation has created the “Get the Facts! Get Checked! Get Healthy!” PSA which helps the public learn more about kidney disease prevention and the need for organ donation.
MNITF is a public non-profit organization that adheres to its mission of advancing the science and practice of organ transplantation and end-stage organ disease therapies through research, education, and innovation.
