About this conference

Join your colleagues and partners in care for the second stakeholder engagement conference as we address the impact and burden of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) in Delaware.  CKD and ESRD are serious and costly diseases that consume nearly 25 percent of the Medicare budget and affect more than 20 million adults, most over 60 years of age.  Diabetes and hypertension are the most frequent causes of CKD in the United States.  In Delaware in 2013, there were 2,287 patients in chronic renal replacement therapy.  Patients and their supporters, community members, providers, payers, researchers, and policy makers are all encouraged to attend this event.

We will begin a discussion about:

  • The patients and caregivers experience
  • Transitions of care from childhood to adulthood
  • Shared decision-making and end of life care
  • Exercise for patients with CKD or end stage renal disease (ESRD)
