The Mālama Kidney Center was created to address the concerns, issues, and healthcare burden associated with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The number of patients with CKD in Hawai'i continues to rise and is compounded by the shortage of Nephrologists to care for these patients. Mālama Kidney Center serves as an extension of Nephrologists' practice to provide education, support, and care coordination for patients with CKD.
