The National Kidney Foundation staffers and volunteers travel across the state of Georgia to assist in educating the general public about the warning signs and high risk factors for kidney disease. They also encourage Georgians to sign their organ donor card and look to raise awareness about organ donation & transplantation.

Where are health fairs held?
Health fairs are conducted statewide and are held at various locations including churches, large & small companies, schools, colleges & universities, and festivals & local community events, to name a few.

What materials are presented & what other groups are involved?
The NKFG provides educational brochures & pamphlets for attendees at each function. Literature on warning signs, organ donation, kidney disease, risk factors and NKFG program information are often supplied.

The NKFG also works with other non-profit agencies to help educate the general public. Some health fairs may include screenings and blood pressure checks in addition to the educational materials provided.
