Kidney Care Campaign - Presentation - Page 14
We want you by our side as we build
a brighter future for kidney health.
We have a proud history of kidney care in the
province. The second kidney transplant in Canada
was preformed by SPH physicians in Saskatoon
in 1964.6
Since then, thousands of patients with kidney
disease have been treated at St. Paul’s Hospital.
As research and treatments have improved,
home- and community-based dialysis became
an option for patients, improving quality of life
and reducing demand for in-hospital treatment.
But we cannot ignore the steep increase in
kidney disease in Saskatchewan.
THERE ARE MANY
WAYS TO GIVE
We need to be pioneers once again, and address
kidney disease before the need for physician and
hospital care becomes a matter of life and death.
