We are deeply saddened by the passing of Chef Wayne Johnson, a beloved figure in our community who dedicated his time and talent to many organizations, including Northwest Kidney Centers. Chef Wayne served on the planning board for our annual Kidney Health Fest for African American Families, and was a key figure at each event, demonstrating healthy cooking techniques and serving up delicious food samples. His passion, his incredible culinary skills and his generous spirit touched countless lives. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

August is National Minority Donor Awareness Month. Health disparities such as diabetes and high blood pressure, more prevalent in minority communities, heighten the need for organ donations. Currently, over 100,000 people are on the national transplant waiting list, with 60% from minority communities. Help us raise awareness about these critical issues and the importance of organ donation. #NationalMinorityDonorAwarenessMonth #NMDAM #kidneytransplant #kidney #organdonation #organtransplant #kidneydisease #shareyourspare
