Renal failure is now the 8th leading cause of death in America, according to data released by the CDC. As part of its mission to raise awareness and increase prevention, Emory’s Kidney Disease Screening and Awareness Program (KDSAP) will host a free kidney screening Saturday, January 25, 2020. The screening will be held at South DeKalb Mall in Decatur, GA from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
KDSAP is a student-run organization that partners with physicians and community members to provide free kidney screenings and health education to underserved populations. The organization offers many innovative programs to benefit its student members, including speaker series and programs each semester that expose students to scientific and medical professions while facilitating the development of mentor-mentee relationships. Members may also participate in community outreach and develop leadership skills by organizing, managing, and running monthly kidney health screenings in medically underserved communities.
