Kidney Society Auckland provides community support and information for people with kidney disease and their families in the Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Tairāwhiti/Gisborne and Hawke's Bay areas.
Services, delivered in person (one on one and in groups), by phone and by mail / email include social work, phone support and information about kidney disease and related topics. In partnership with Counties Manukau renal services, the Society runs three Kidney Society Dialysis Houses in Papatoetoe and Māngere, where trained patients can come and do their own haemodialysis treatments. An individual home based wellness programme helps people with their mobility and independence.
The Society's focus is on helping patients get on with life in spite of the limitations imposed by kidney disease and its treatments.
