Dr. April Kennedy shares a deeply personal story about how her dad’s unexpected battle with kidney disease changed the course of her life and led her to become a nephrologist. From not knowing he was sick to watching him endure hemodialysis and eventually receive a kidney transplant, his journey inspired her to focus on kidney health within the Black community. Black Americans are four times more likely to suffer from kidney disease, and she’s made it her mission to provide excellent care, education, and support to those who need it most. Join her as she discusses her path to nephrology and why representation in healthcare matters.
