Educating public about risks of kidney disease

The Kidney Foundation Of Canada has set up an outpost inside Kenora's Wal-Mart to test and educate locals on their potential to contract kidney disease.

Open on Monday and Tuesday, the Kidney Health Centre is an educational tool for chronic disease prevention. Focusing on high blood pressure (hypertension) and high blood sugar (diabetes), the quick and confidential tests accompany the on-site consultation and options to have results sent to applicable medical practitioners for follow-up.
