AAKP is proud to team up with Baxter Healthcare to promote the Take 2 Tell 5 campaign. This campaign targets African Americans with kidney disease and those at risk of developing kidney failure, to take two minutes to get tested for the disease and tell five friends and loved ones to also get tested.
 
Targeted cities include Atlanta, Ga., Baltimore, Md., Washington, D.C., Cincinnati, Ohio and New York City. Anyone who would like to learn more about kidney disease and its related complications can visit www.aakp.org/Take2Tell5 or contact AAKP at (800) 749-AAKP. Posters of the Take 2 Tell 5 campaign can also be downloaded from theAAKP Web site.
