Welcome to the KEOP Blog!

Welcome to the KEOP blog! The KEOP team welcomes you to our new blog--where KEOP volunteers will help us chronicle our outreach activities across North Carolina communities.

The KEOP's objectives are to:
  • Raise citizens' and health care providers' awareness about the primary risk factors for CKD and the importance of early diagnosis and intervention BEFORE clinical symptoms are apparent.

  • Partner with community leaders and organizations to promote CKD awareness and to provide free CKD screenings.

  • Identify outreach strategies that are effective in reducing the burden of CKD in North Carolina, and
  • Encourage citizens with diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, heart disease or a family history of CKD to remember to ask... "HEY DOC, HOW ARE MY KIDNEYS?"
