Background

The PKD Foundation’s Centers of Excellence (COE) program is built upon the belief that the best way to provide ADPKD-centered care is through patient-focused, comprehensive care with the coordination and support of an integrated care team.   The program’s mission stands on three pillars:
  1. understanding Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) through research
  2. ensuring better care for all individuals with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)
  3. educating and empowering the community.
