At this FREE kidney screening, participants will receive a BMI Calculation, Blood Pressure Reading, ACI urine test, Glucose Test, eGFR Reading (if necessary), and a Consultation with a medical professional. You’ll also be able to take home education brochures on many topics related to kidney health.

Support our efforts for health equity.
Our team at Minority Health Coalition of Marion County has a vision of all residents in our community enjoying a healthy life — no matter their race, ethnicity, or income. Unfortunately, that is not a reality. In Marion County, people of color suffer disproportionately from heart disease, cancer, STDS, obesity, and infant mortality than their white neighbors. Every dollar you donate will support a more equitable and healthier future everyone in our community. Thank you for your donations!
