London Health Sciences Centre
LHSC and The Kidney Foundation of Canada are Educating the Community About Kidney Health
Throughout March, which is Kidney Health Month, Canadians are encouraged to learn more about their kidney health. To help London residents take that step, London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) and The Kidney Foundation of Canada are teaming up for a week of interactive displays and conversation in Westmount Shopping Centre on March 17-21.
“We hope that our interactive display space can help the community gain a deeper understanding of their kidney health and the risk factors for kidney disease,” says Julie Ann Lawrence, nurse practitioner, LHSC’s Kidney Care Centre. “Early detection is imperative to delaying the progression of kidney disease. Managing diabetes, controlling blood pressure, exercising and maintaining a healthy diet all contribute to fighting the disease.”
