March marks the beginning of National Kidney Month, a time to raise awareness about kidney health and recognize the importance of organ donation. Celebrated every year since 2001, this month-long event was established to encourage people to take steps towards protecting their kidneys by making healthy lifestyle choices. This is also an opportunity to honor those who have donated or received a kidney transplant, as well as those waiting for one. So join us in celebrating National Kidney Month on March 1 and make your own pledge to protect your kidneys!
