Q&A: ASN president talks about kidney care policy, coalition building and hopeKey takeaways:ASN’s policy goals are patient-centered and call for earlier detection and equitable treatment. Healio talked with Parikh about advocacy for improving kidney health, building the nephrology workforce and facilitating medical breakthroughs and innovations to kidney care. We start by first building that base of relationships in Washington, D.C. Then, the Transforming Kidney Health Research report is an example of a second strategy, which is coalition building.

Now there is growing bipartisan interest in supporting people with kidney diseases and transforming kidney care through research.
