Description

Many of us know family members who have diabetes or high blood pressure, which often run in African-American families. These conditions are the leading causes of kidney failure. That's why it is so important to talk to your family about what they can do to protect their kidneys. The Family Reunion Health Guide, developed for use at African-American family reunions, will show you how.
