Patient and Family Partner Program^®
The nationally-recognized Patient and Family Partner Program trains and certifies volunteers who have experienced kidney failure themselves, or who have been part of the support team for a loved one with kidney failure, to serve as mentors and provide support to patients and caregivers.

The next Patient and Family Partner Program Certified Partner training classes will take place in Harrisburg and York during the Spring of 2013.
