New Hyde Park, NY, August 19, 2019
- Continuing with its goal to educate
hemodialysis patients about quality
care, Parker Jewish Institute for Health
Care and Rehabilitation and the Queens-
Long Island Renal Institute recently cohosted
a For Kidney’s Sake lunch-andlearn
event for individuals living with
chronic kidney disease, or CKD.
The full-day program provided
education about diabetic eye care
and vision loss, protein needs and
transplantation. The session also
offered the perspectives of a CKD
patient. In attendance were many
Queens Long Island Renal Institute
dialysis patients, as well as people
from the outside community.
The event had been organized by For Kidney
Sake’s founder and president, the late Angela L.
Davis, who passed away unexpectedly in June.
“We were very honored and impressed by
the dedication and passion, that Angela Davis
brought on behalf of the dialysis community,”
said Georgiene Kenny, a registered nurse and
the administrator of Queens-Long Island Renal
Institute.
