Mission

Since 1955, the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan (NKFM) has led the fight against life-threatening kidney and urinary diseases. We have enhanced the lives of many Michigan residents through our patient services, research and education programs. Our efforts have also changed legislation, ensured quality care for patients and advanced medical knowledge. We have informed the public about kidney and urological diseases and increased awareness of the critical need for organ and tissue donations. Our patient service programs include: a kids camp, medical emergency identification tags, the Luann Scheppelman-Eib emergency fund, a prescription drug bank, internship program, patient indigent program, and scholarship offerings.
