The Bay Area Association of Kidney Patients is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization formed to educate and support Bay Area kidney patients, medical and ancillary professionals, friends and family of affected individuals, and interested participants.

We depend on donations and fundraisers for accomplishing our mission with news, letters, lecture events, and other educational materials.

We are currently looking for more volunteers for the BAAKP Board of Directors. Use your skills, talents, and knowledge to help other kidney patients! We meet the second Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. September through June. Being a member of the Board of Directors is not "all work and no play" -- we also share a delicious meal and great ideas to improve BAAKP. Hope to see you join the team.

Want to help out and spread awareness about kidney disease? Here is a brochure you can print out and distribute BAAKP Tri-fold Brochure.
