Patient Lifestyle Meetings
For the
past several years, RSN has hosted Patient Lifestyle Meetings
(PLM) across United States (at no charge), attended by people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and
their family members.
At these meetings, healthcare professionals
and renal patients—on dialysis or with a kidney
transplant—speak on life-enhancement and illness-related issues relevant to
living a fulfilling life despite renal disease.
Any illness—and
particularly CKD—is
too demanding when you don’t have hope. If people with CKD do not believe they
have a future, then the demands placed upon them by dialysis or by the
immunosuppressant regimen will prove overwhelming. The goal of the patient
lifestyle meeting series is to let patients know that their kidney
problems are just that... problems that can be overcome with hope, an eye toward
the future, a working knowledge of their disease, and a touch of common sense.
Patients are treated to a renal-friendly lunch or brunch and refreshments, and raffle
prizes will be given away throughout the day. During the scheduled breaks,
attendees are encouraged to visit information stations located throughout the
venue where they can speak with experts on topics such as cooking renal-friendly
foods, making traveling easier, re-entering the workforce, taking charge of one’s
own health, and honing one’s skills as a caregiver.
Representatives from companies and associations involved in renal care will
provide updates on the latest equipment, pharmaceuticals, and patient resources.
