This March, as National Kidney Month begins, the National Kidney Foundation urges Americans to get to know two humble, hardworking organs: the kidneys.
To help raise awareness and appreciation for all the vital functions the kidneys perform, the National Kidney Foundation is encouraging Americans to learn more and take steps now to preserve kidney health. March 12 is World Kidney Day, the perfect time to get to know your kidneys and find out if you're at risk. Click here for more information for a KEEP free health screening near you.
And if you're in the Bay Area reading this, or plan to pass through this Spring, please take note:
