Founded in 1969 and based in Tampa, Florida, it operates within the health care sector as an advocate and educator focused on kidney care. The organization emphasizes education, advocacy, and patient engagement to help individuals and their families understand their condition and adapt to its challenges, aiming for more normal, productive lives in their communities. AAKP serves kidney patients and their families, offering programs that foster patient communities and practical knowledge about treatment options and daily living.
