Patient driven. Veteran-led
The Enlisted Kidney Foundation brings together kidney patients, veterans, first responders, and families through mentorship, advocacy, and community. We highlight potential links between service-related toxic exposures and kidney disease while elevating the patient's voice nationally.

Veterans Deserve a Voice. And a Seat at the Table.
1 in 6 Veterans is battling chronic kidney disease. Yet too many lack the mentorship, community, and representation they deserve. The Enlisted Kidney Foundation is changing that.
We bridge the gap by connecting Veterans with peer mentorship, kidney health resources, and support navigating VA healthcare, transplant access, and potential service-related toxic exposures.
But our mission doesn't stop there. EKF brings the Veteran Voice of the Patient to the national stage, challenging healthcare leaders, researchers, and policymakers to include Veterans in the conversations and decisions shaping kidney care.
Our service mattered then. Our voices matter now.
We haven't just built a Following. We're building a Movement.
The Enlisted Kidney Foundation is bringing together a growing community of kidney patients, Veterans, first responders, caregivers, and families who are ready to connect, learn, advocate, and be heard.
From our FilterLIFE™ Podcast and social platforms to one-on-one mentorship, community conversations, and grassroots outreach, EKF is building something the kidney community has been missing: a place where patients belong, their experiences matter, and their voices have influence.
We're connecting patients with medical professionals, researchers, and industry leaders, creating opportunities for meaningful conversations, stronger partnerships, and patient-informed innovation.
To patients:
Your community is here. Your voice matters.
To healthcare leaders and partners:
The people you're working to serve deserve to be part of the conversation.
