Celebrating World Kidney Day
The Scarborough Hospital (TSH) is recognizing World Kidney Day on March 13, and the hospital’s Nephrology team is inviting everyone to join the celebration.
The goal of World Kidney Day is to raise awareness of the importance of our kidneys, and how they are essential in supporting our overall health. The day also aims to reduce the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems worldwide.
