The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) announces that Lisa
Estrada, senior vice president and chief compliance officer for
Fresenius Medical Care North America (FMCNA), has joined the
Leadership Committee for the New York City Kidney Walk to be held
Sunday, Nov. 12, in Foley Square.
As a member of the Leadership Committee, Estrada will help call
attention to the prevention of kidney disease and the need for
organ donation, while encouraging participation in and support of
the Kidney Walk. This year, FMCNA announced a company-wide national
team in support of the National Kidney Foundation’s walks. By
bringing together the collective power of Fresenius Medical Care
employee volunteers under one National Team, the company enhances
its ability to make a greater social impact on the broader kidney
community. With a 2017 Kidney Walk fundraising goal of $250,000—the
largest ever by a National Team—FMCNA intends to surpass the
million-dollar mark in terms of total funds raised to date.
“Through my work at Fresenius Medical Care, I’ve seen the impact
of kidney disease at close range and gained a true appreciation of
the critical need for prevention and organ donation programs,” said
Estrada. “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to bring more focus
and funding to these issues in my own community.”
For 16 years, the New York City Kidney Walk has served as a
catalyst for uniting the kidney community. With more than 7,000
walkers in attendance, this walk has become a symbol of strength
and hope for patients, their families and those at-risk. This year,
the organization set a goal to raise a record $1,000,000 through
the New York City Kidney Walk to make a powerful statement toward
raising awareness about this disease.
FMCNA has 82 clinics in the greater New York area treating 7,956
patients.
