Known as a silent disease, it’s common for people to live with early stages of kidney disease and have no symptoms. In effort to reach out to underserved communities, the National Kidney foundation sends a kidney mobile vehicle to provide free testing.

“When we look at the issues of health disparities, for example, nearly one and four Black persons are more likely to get kidney disease than the Caucasian population and for the Latino population is one and three,” said Jacqueline Burgess-Bishop, CEO of the National Kidney Foundation.

“People just come and can get a quick blood test and urine test and we get test results very quickly, and there are doctors like myself who will be there to interpret any abnormal result and we can provide them with resources in the community,” Udani said. “Although, I thrive in helping other people to survive,” Taylor said. “This isn’t a life I would give to anyone. It’s hard. It’s full of ups and downs but why would you add more to your life than you have to. Your body will be as good as you are it.”
