The Kidney Foundation of the Greater Chattanooga Area is pleased to provide FREE community screenings to detect early signs of kidney disease. After seeing a rise in kidney disease in the area, our Public Education Committee created the protocol for the PEED Program. PEED stands for Providing Education & Early Detection. This program accommodates any community member wishing to be tested for kidney disease.
A PEED Screening consists of measuring height and weight, recording blood pressure and blood sugar, and a urine sample, collected on site, will be tested for abnormal results and cells. Once the measurements are obtained, a health care provider will be available to discuss the results.
For more information about education, health fairs, The PEED Program, or to volunteer, please contact us.
Upcoming PEED Screenings:
March 13th 10:30AM - 2:30PM at Unum
MArch 27th 10AM - 3PM at Volkswagen
To schedule a private PEED screening for your business, church, or civic group please contact Haley Jacoway: haley@kidneyfoundation.com
