As the leading organization dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease, the National Kidney Foundation of Florida annually partners with the Florida Chapters of the Council of Nephrology Social Workers, the Florida Council on Renal Nutrition and the American Nephrology Nurses Association to present the RENAL PROFESSIONAL FORUM. This year, we will present the 15th Annual RPF, Thursday, February 22nd & Friday, February 23rd, 2018 at Doubletree by Hilton Orlando at Sea World in Orlando, Florida. This program is designed specifically for Renal Social Workers, Dietitians, Nurses and Technicians and has been developed by a committee of your peers.

This year, our conference will focus on “The Heart of the Matter,” because Renal Professionals put their whole hearts into all that they do for their patients. The content of the sessions presented will focus on the roles of our renal professionals as they relate to the advocacy, health, teamwork and advances in caring for patients with Renal Disease.
