Who We Serve? 
 

You – KCF's main reason for being is for you, the patient. You are our focus and you are our concern. If you are a chronic kidney patient between the ages of 12-21 we are here for you. It doesn't matter your race, creed, orientation, disability, or religion, YOU are our concern.

Here at KCF, we only ask that you do two things, listen to your doctors, and take care of yourself. It is our job that we assist you in doing so. How? Glad you asked!

1. When you become part of our family, you get your own coach to help you set some goals, and encourage you to reach them.
2. We will be here to listen, and mentor you. You don't have to feel alone in this process because many of our coaches have been where you are in trying to manage a chronic illness.
3. We are here to inspire you. Everyone here has a story to tell, and a positive attitude. We will help you learn how to deal with, and get through those tough times so that hopefully one day...you'll want to return and be a coach with us!!

Caregiver – Oh the teen years! The child that adored you and thought you were Hercules is now independent, and well,...independent. This is great! For some caregivers, you don't have to worry about telling them to clean their rooms – no, now you have graduated to a new set of problems like cerfews and relationships. During this time, your child is starting to “find” themselves. And although you are wishing that they hurry up and do so, there is a lot of stuff going on with them. Now compound that with a chronic illness, and this may be a battle that you aren't ready for.

Here at KCF, our dedication to our caregivers is essential to our patients progress. Realizing that many adolescents, young adults, and their caregivers go through emotional and physical transformations at the onset of learning they must cope with a kidney disease, we are here to help ease the anxiety.

So if you are a caregiver or a caregiver of a child/young adult with kidney disease, and they need a little coaching and positive influence for keeping up their health habits, KCF is for you!

Doctors – Yes, KCF is here for you too. Do you have a patient that just won't take their medication? Are they more worried about their appearance rather than their health? Do you have a caregiver that is not supportive or the least bit helpful in their child's health care management?

If you've answered yes to any of these questions, then KCF is for you! With this program we will coach your patients to be more compliant and to have a more open line of communication with you.

So send them over...we're waiting!
