Saturday, September 28, 2024
Hope Week 2024 Offers Five Days of Inspiration, Education, and Support for People Living with Kidney Disease, Their Families, and Healthcare Professionals
GLENDALE, Calif., Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Renal Support Network (RSN) will host its 31st Annual Kidney Disease Education and Lifestyle Meeting from October 9th-13th, 2024. For over three decades, RSN has hosted this highly regarded event, providing education, resources, and support for people living with kidney disease, their families, and healthcare professionals. This event, aptly named Hope Week, will continue this tradition with a focus on fostering hope and empowerment for those affected by kidney disease.
Each day of the event will center on a different stage or aspect of chronic kidney disease (CKD), covering topics such as diagnosis, dialysis, kidney transplant, and daily lifestyle challenges. Esteemed healthcare professionals, along with those from within the kidney community who have learned to thrive in spite of having kidney disease, will share their expertise, advice, and personal stories, offering valuable insight into living and thriving with CKD.
RSN remains committed to equitable access to information and resources, ensuring that no individual faces barriers to participation. By utilizing a virtual platform, the meeting allows those who may face physical, geographic, or financial constraints to engage fully in the event.
Hope Week provides not only education but also inspiration and a chance to connect with a supportive community of people who have been there. It's a unique opportunity to hear firsthand from those who have walked the path and to learn about the latest advancements in kidney care.
RSN Founder and President Lori Hartwell reflects, "Throughout my journey--marked by more than 50 surgeries, 13 years on dialysis, and four kidney transplants--I've faced some of life's toughest lessons. These were not the lessons you learn in school, but ones born from personal experience. I know many of my peers share the same fears and feelings of isolation that I've experienced. Fear often arises from a lack of understanding, and loneliness can be eased by connecting with a community that truly understands what you're going through. That's exactly what Hope Week provides: five days of inspiration and education designed to address these challenges. One of the cornerstones of RSN is the motto, 'an illness is too demanding when you don't have hope', and Hope Week is here to remind everyone that connection, knowledge and confidence in navigating care is within reach."
