Honored to have worked on @Kidney_X at @HHSCTOOffice with @ASNKidney, @ASNAdvocacy and the entire kidney care community. The future is bright for innovation in #dialysis. KidneyX is just getting started!
NephTwitter - With some of the leaders of @Kidney_X leaving the U.S. gov (🙏@ejsimcox and @innovationwonk for all you have done!), it is time for each of us lead the fight to ensure tremendous improvements in dialysis technology in the coming years. #NSMC #NephJC #dialysis
