Barbara Chatman, Regional Development Director was proud to provide 52 Drive for Dialysis Tote Bags to Dinley Cius, Director of Operations for Broward Fresenius Kidney Care and Carlos Guerrero, Clinic Manager at the Nobhill Road Dialysis Center in Plantation, FL. A Drive for Dialysis Tote Bag Campaign was held at the NKFF Inaugural Heart Your Kidneys Gala on April 18th. Sponsors and Donors at the event made donations to provide dialysis patients a Dialysis Tote Bag Care Package with a special note of encouragement. For thousands of individuals facing kidney failure, dialysis is a lifeline – but it is not without challenges. NKFF strives to provide comfort with a NKFF signature color “Orange” Wave Design Tote Bag with lots of goody items to help them pass the time in comfort and to brighten their spirits and make the long hours of treatment a little more bearable. Dialysis Tote Bag Care Packages will be distributed to several Fresenius Kidney Care Clinics throughout Broward County. NKFF appreciates all donations that made this Drive for Dialysis Campaign a success.
