Renal Support Network

rdf:langString Renal Support Network

rdf:langString The Renal Support Network (RSN) is an American nonprofit, kidney patient-focused, kidney patient-run organization that works to benefit individuals affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD). RSN's mission is to help patients develop their personal coping skills, talents, and employability by educating and empowering them (and their family members) to take control of the course and management of the disease. RSN works to achieve its mission through its national patient meeting and regional patient lifestyle meetings and the RSN Patients Educating Patients & Professionals (PEPP) Patient Speakers Program. Information and education programs include the Kidney Times website and the KidneyTalk biweekly podcast. RSN sponsors Renal Teen Proms in Los Angeles and Washington, DC. The Renal Support Network also works to provide lawmakers and policymakers with patient perspectives on the needs and capabilities of people with CKD. RSN does this through their Wellness & Education Kidney Advocacy Network (weKAN).
