Significant racial disparities exist between Black and White Americans in need of kidney transplantation. This healthcare disparity is multifactorial including limited kidney donors for Black Americans, inconsistent care coordination, social determinants of health, reduced access to care, and mistrust of clinicians and the healthcare system.1 Join us for an informative panel discussion as we discuss these challenges and possible solutions to bridge these disparities.

Population health provides an opportunity for health care systems, agencies, and organizations to work together in order to improve the health outcomes of the communities they serve. Some definitions of population health emphasize outcomes, some focus on measurement, and others emphasize accountability. Chronic kidney disease in the United States places a high burden upon society and health systems. Given its uneven distribution across populations and that the disease is largely preventable, chronic kidney disease is an important focus for population health. Drs Mary Reich Cooper, Tara McKinley, and Joseph Cirrincione will discuss population health with a focus on chronic kidney disease.

There are many considerations that a patient undergoes during the transplant evaluation process, some of which are unique to patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Join us as experts, Dr Meyeon Park and Dr Simin Goral discuss different factors and choices patients with kidney failure must process during their journey to a kidney transplant. As well as hearing from our peer specialist, Mr Kevin Fowler, about his experience during his pre-emptive transplant journey.
