OUR HISTORY
“To empower and support those at risk or affected by kidney disease.”
In December 1969, a small group of physicians, businessmen, patients and their family members held the first meeting of the Nashville chapter of the Tennessee Kidney Foundation (TKF). Over the years, TKF has continued to raise awareness of kidney disease and their programs, while receiving honorary achievements. One thing that remained the same was TKF’s consistent focus of kidney disease and to provide opportunities to save the lives of its victims.
