American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP) 36th Annaul Convention

September 3 - September 5, 2009
Denver, CO

http://www.aakp.org/events/convention/2009/

AAKP created its Annual Convention to provide kidney disease patients, as well as their friends and family members with the opportunity to discuss their concerns and share their experiences while learning about important issues affecting their health care.

In addition to exciting social events, it is the largest national convention where kidney patients can interact on person-to-person basis with fellow patients and health care professionals.

During this three-day event, attendees participate in educational topics for those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to long-term dialysis and transplant patients. Participants also learn about various treatments for each stage of kidney disease.

If you have any questions about the AAKP Annual Convention, please do not hestiate to call (800) 749-AAKP or send an e-mail to info@aakp.org.
