Community Service & Volunteering
The Kidney Disease Screening and Awareness Program (KDSAP) is a student-run organization that provides free kidney health screenings and health education to underserved communities in Boston and in the Greater Boston Area. We provide programs geared towards improving the health of underserved populations. According to the National Kidney Foundation, 1 in 3 American adults is currently at risk for developing chronic kidney disease. What's worse is that 1 in 9 American adults already have kidney disease and don't know it yet. KDSAP aims to raise awareness about chronic kidney disease and help prevent its onset by providing free kidney screenings to underserved communities. There are multiple components to this program, including community health screenings, community health education events, and opportunities to participate in colloquia on and off campus. KDSAP was founded in 2008 by students at Harvard University under the direction of Dr. Li-Li Hsiao. There are currently 20 chapters of KDSAP in the Unites States and Canada.
