In celebration of National Kidney Month, PPNA and the National Kidney Foundation of Colorado, Montana and Wyoming held Colorado Springs’ first-ever free Kidney Health Fair on March 14^th.    Our event offered a free Kidney Health Risk Assessment and educational information on everything from diet and diabetes to insurance programs.   More than 55 persons participated in the health risk screening.

We’d like to extend a special thanks to our volunteers and our event partners:   The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Penrose-St. Francis Health Services, Memorial Health System, Colorado Springs Health Partners, Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments, The City of Colorado Springs, The Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, The Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy, and David Cecil of OrthoBiotec.  

We’d also like to extend our gratitude to Colorado Springs Vice Mayor Larry Small and State Insurance Commissioner Marcy Morrison for attending our event.
