West Side United Supports Illinois Kidney Care Alliance
Wednesday, Apr 15, 2020 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] In Illinois, more than 30,000 people suffer from kidney disease. To highlight their needs, organizations from across the state formed the Illinois Kidney Care Alliance (IKCA). This coalition – made up of health advocates and professionals, community and patient groups, health providers and businesses – is focused on raising awareness about those who suffer from kidney disease, who are among our society’s most vulnerable. IKCA is proud to announce West Side United (WSU) as a new member of the coalition. WSU is a nonprofit that works with local residents to improve neighborhood health by addressing inequality in healthcare, education, economic vitality and the physical environment. By partnering with healthcare providers, education providers, the faith community, business, and government, WSU helps coordinate local investments and improve the quality of life for those on Chicago’s West Side. IKCA’s goal is to protect these vulnerable populations, including those on life-sustaining dialysis and those waiting for a kidney transplant.
