Celebrating 25 Years
Celebrating 25 years of Alaska Kidney Patients, from the Alaska Kidney Volunteers to an Alaska Chapter of the AAKP to establishing the Alaska Kidney Patients Association. The AKPA was started by Alaska kidney patients and their supporters to encourage each other, to teach others about kidney disease, to advocate for kidney patients, and to create a community of support for Alaska's kidney patients.
This photo is a treasure of memories. It was taken at the organizing meeting of the Alaska Chapter of the AAKP in 2005. While pleased with establishing an 'official' kidney organization in Alaska, these dedicated kidney patients and their supporters realized an independent Alaska kidney organization was their dream. That dream was achieved in 2008 with the incorporation of the Alaska Kidney Patients, Inc. - an Alaskan 501c3 non profit.
