Affiliates and Partners
KidneyCouch is proud to partner with organizations who's mission is to bring awareness, education, support, and resources to patients, friends and family members, and caregivers that experience kidney cancer journeys. Everyone has a story to tell. A unique, personal experience that we want to bring an additional voice to.
​
The affiliations that we have forged share the mission of KidneyCouch to bring support and healing - medically and emotionally - through education and awareness for patients experiencing kidney cancer personally or within their circle of friends and family.
​
We are pleased that the following organizations have joined us around the Couch to advance this mission.
Kidney Cancer Association
The KCA promotes scientific advances through two annual research symposiums and a robust grant program, participates in legislative advocacy, and seeks to be a source of education and resources for patients, caregivers, and anyone impacted by kidney cancer.
​
KCA's vision is to be the universal leader in finding the cure for kidney cancer. Their mission is to be a global community dedicated to serving and empowering patients and caregivers, and leading change through advocacy, research, and education.
Imerman Angels
Imerman Angel's mission is to provide comfort and understanding for all cancer fighters, survivors, previvors and caregivers through a personalized, one-on-one connection with someone who has been there.
​
Imerman Angels envisions a world where cancer is not a solitary experience.
Smart Patients
Smart Patients is an online community for patients and families affected by a variety of illnesses. Here you can learn at your own level about scientific developments related to your condition, share your questions and concerns with other members, and use what you learn in the context of your own life.
We believe patients are the most underutilized resource in healthcare. We’ve watched patients become experts in their conditions — and we see that their knowledge improves the care they receive. With the right tools, you and other patients can do the same.
