Ron and Joy Paul Kidney Center


 

About

In the epidemic of kidney disease, the number of those people in need far outweighs those donating. Washington, D.C., more than any other city in the United States, has been at the center of this off-balance issue. The Ronald and Joy Paul Foundation, with a $2.5 million gift, is establishing the GW/Ron and Joy Paul Kidney Center to address the urgent need for community awareness of kidney diagnosis, treatment, and donation. 

The Ron and Joy Paul Kidney Center is directly purposed to reduce the number of persons falling victim to Kidney failure by educating the community, implementing diagnostic efforts and bridging the gap between the scarce number of donors and vast proportion of those waiting for a kidney. Our mission is to use effective diagnostic efforts to help individuals identify their risk of kidney failure early on. The goal is to identify it in the early stages of Kidney disease i.e. stages 1, 2 or 3.  Early stages of kidney disease can be reversed with diligent lifestyle modifications. In addition, to aiding individuals identify their early onset of kidney disease our intent to inform at risk individuals what lifestyle modifications and practices will help reverse kidney damage. “Should somebody be in end-stage renal failure i.e. stages 4 or 5, we want to be able to educate them on transplantation. It’s all about awareness and education. We want individuals to know that Kidney Disease does not have to be a death sentence, it is possible to take control of your life.
