In the epidemic of kidney disease, the number of those people in need far outweighs those donating. Washington, D.C., more than any other city in the United States, has been at the center of this off-balance issue.

The Ronald and Joy Paul Foundation, with a $2.5 million gift, is establishing the GW/Ron and Joy Paul Kidney Center to address the urgent need for community awareness of kidney disease diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
