Taking Care of Care Partners
Care partners are unsung heroes embodying compassion, selflessness, and providing necessary support to those in need. While their dedication often goes unnoticed, their impact is immeasurable.

A Proud Partnership
The Kidney Foundation, BC & Yukon Branch, is proud to bring the Kidney Wellness Hub to all those affected by kidney disease – patients and their care partners. It was made possible in part thanks to the financial support from the Government of British Columbia.
