This week on KidneyTalk, we are on location at the Annual California Dialysis Council Meeting in Palm Springs, CA with Marc Chow, Director of Government Affairs for Satellite Healthcare and Mike Arnold, CEO of Arnold & Associates, Inc.  Mike Arnold says "Unless we're there to stand up for our community...we're forgotten about." Ever feel that way?  In this interview Marc Chow and Mike Arnold offer their respective expertise on why it is so important for the kidney community to take a stand, get involved, and make a difference...and how. You'll find it's not as hard as you may have thought. "Dialysis patients are different, it's a very fragile population. They need to be thought of differently, and treated differently, and must be addressed differently." Mike Arnold says. Learn about the Kidney Care Quality and Education Act of 2007 and some of the state issues heading our way. Be sure to tune in to this very informative interview, and make an impact that will help change kidney patients' lives...for the better.
