WHO WE ARE
The Kidney Coalition of NYC is a non-profit organization created by people with kidney disease for people with kidney disease. Through our programs, services and special events, we educate, advocate and raises awareness throughout the community.
KCNYC is unique. Why?
We understand that the steps in your health and life journey are yours, everyone copes differently but we do walk the same path and understand that sometimes it helps just knowing you're not alone.
KCNYC offers a variety of virtual and in-person activities highlighting peer-support, education and training, clubs and contests.
Fully operated by volunteers who have CKD or who have been impacted by CKD gives our staff a deeper understanding, a desire to make a difference, determination to one day find a cure and the passion to help and advocate for people with kidney disease, donors and their families is what makes us an award-winning non-profit organization/charity.
Simply put its people with kidney disease taking care of people with kidney disease.

WHY WE DO IT
WHY WE DO IT
Kidney Disease
Our team members share determination, experience and passion about helping others with CKD because we all live with this disease or our loved ones have been impacted by it.
We understand the journey, the navigation and the struggles because we are living with chronic kidney disease too.
Programs are open to residents of New York State.

and you'll never walk alone
you’ll never, Ever walk alone…”
