Congratulations to Dr. Susan Samuel, a pediatric kidney specialist, KFOC KRESCENT grad, and 4-time Kidney Marcher. She has been appointed leader of the Canadian Child Health Clinician Scientist Program to support child and youth health research across the country.
We had the pleasure of visiting an energetic group at the Calgary Nikkei Cultural & Senior Centre to discuss kidney health this week.
Anyone can develop kidney disease but certain populations are more at risk: Aboriginal, Asian, South Asian, Pacific Island, African/Caribbean and Hispanic. 80% of kidney function can be lost without any symptoms, making early detection and public education so important. Thank you Tracy and Heather for volunteering to help us host this event.

The Kidney Foundation and several partners recently announced $3.3 million in funding for the Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program. Its goals are to "increase the availability of transplants for Canadians and transform clinical outcomes for transplant patients."
