Free Kidney Disease Screening
Chronic kidney disease often goes undetected until it is serious enough for dialysis or a transplant. But, if it is diagnosed early, it can be slowed or even stopped. Get an easy test on Thursday, March 14, from 9 am to 3 pm at Royal Oak’s Beaumont Hospital, in the South tower Lobby outside suite 100. Beaumont Health nephrologists, dietitians and nurses will be on-site to review results and counsel patients. For more information, email Jennifer Fogarty at Jennifer.fogarty@beaumont.org.
