While you showed your gratitude for our frontline workers you are also supported the University Hospital Foundation’s Festival of Trees 2021 cause, West Edmonton Kidney Care, a University of Alberta Hospital community facility.

For those diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease life can be exhausting, one of the first things to go is their independence. The demands of 12-16 hours of in-hospital dialysis every week, without fail, are tiring. Holding a job becomes a challenge. Their lives are not their own.

By taking their treatments at home, on their own schedule, when the timing is best for them, people living with end-stage kidney disease will feel better faster – and get their lives back.
