Excited to be one of the co-hosts of this new endeavor! Please give it a listen and rate it 5 stars. We have incredible guests and stories coming up!

My patients live at the margins of society. They don’t have much. Just getting to dialysis three times a week is a big ask. Taking from them to fund tax breaks for the rich is just cruel.

I want to be outraged but I just feel like crying.

Exciting times ahead collaborating with great partners!

It’s a treasure trove of data for nephrology nerds, aka all of #NephSky

So thankful to the work being done at NIDDK led by Dr. Rob Star. He gave an excellent presentation to the AKF Board of Directors today updating on their progress. We’ve got to make sure the great work being done at NIH isn’t halted for the sake of disruption and disruption alone.

If RFK Jr is indeed named HHS Secretary, all of us in the health field are going to be in the the fight of our lives.
