Ada and Harry DeBold History of the National Kidney Foundation The National Kidney Foundation was established in 1950 by Ada DeBold in an effort to save the life of her young son who had been diagnosed with pediatric nephrosis. In a heroic goal to find a cure, Ada brought together a group of clinicians and researchers from around the United States to share their findings and develop new approaches to understanding and treating the disease. The collaboration that resulted from Ada’s efforts to raise awareness, encourage research and provide support and treatment formed the basis of the National Kidney Foundation. Mission The National Kidney Foundation is dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by kidney disease, and increasing the availability of all organs for transplantation. The National Kidney Foundation is proud to be the leading organization in the United States dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease, and we aim to share our knowledge with those at risk, those affected by kidney disease and all those who care for and about them. Our goal is to educate the public about the critical role the kidneys play in the body and how to keep them healthy. 3 MarchMARCH 25–29 | DALLAS, TX GaylordGAYLORD TexanTEXAN Dallas, TX PRELIMINARY PROGRAM Only at the NKF 2015 Spring Clinical Meetings can you find everything you are looking for — ideas transformed into practical solutions with more than 120 innovative sessions.

OUR TARGET: KIDNEY DISEASE Chronic kidney disease includes conditions that damage your kidneys and decrease their ability to keep you healthy.

    IMPACT REPORT 2018 Dear Friends and Supporters of Living Beyond Breast Cancer, We opened 2018 with Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC) listening to the stories of women diagnosed with breast cancer. This was part of a six-month strategic focus project that included in-depth phone interviews, a large online study, and small in-person focus groups. By listening, we gained many insights of those who Connecting shared their experiences from that dark moment of first hearing the words, “You have breast cancer,” and all the other times that followed, including: the frustrations of waiting for tests, the emotions of finally receiving results, and the challenges of understanding this disease while trying to make informed decisions and manage side effects. Many also told us they gained a new appreciation for friends, family people with and colleagues who offered love and support during difficult as well as celebratory times. This Impact Report provides a glance of LBBC by the numbers. Please remember that behind each of these numbers is an individual who faces a frightening and significant health challenge. We understand trusted that our work, while broad in reach, is also deeply personal. We aim to help alleviate fear, reduce stress, and provide trusted information and support when people are feeling most afraid and alone. This is what drives us to fulfill our mission. breast cancer You are part of a large community of individuals, corporations and foundations who strongly believe in our work. Collectively, your support made it possible for Living Beyond Breast Cancer to engage 600,000 people in our educational programs, online and print resources, and in peer support communities in information 2018.

  • Distressed Projects Special Situations Call for Resourceful Thinking and Decisive Action
    Distressed Projects Special situations call for resourceful thinking and decisive action. Some projects are too important to fail. When the best-laid plans don’t work out as intended, the borrowers, investors, and lenders behind large-scale projects must contend with changed circumstances and an imperative to move forward, even when the path ahead is unclear. Ballard Spahr attorneys have the legal background and tactical experience to realign large-scale projects that have gone sideways. We have ample work experience in distressed project finance, and have helped restructure project finance portfolios. We can help projects get back on budget, stay on schedule to meet their completion date and operational and financial obligations, and function at the level and scale that was anticipated at the outset. PROJECT FINANCE We take an integrated approach to project finance, counseling clients on the restructuring options, transactional considerations, regulatory issues, real estate and environmental issues, and litigation strategies necessary when embarking on a workout. Our Project Finance attorneys work with colleagues well-versed in key areas, such as tax, bankruptcy and capital recovery, construction and development, real estate, environmental regulation, labor and employment, governance and ownership, and government relations to devise a comprehensive strategy for bringing projects back into alignment. Our Project Finance lawyers represent developers, manufacturing companies, project companies, guarantors, investors, sponsors, lenders—including commercial banks, DFIs, MLAs, and private equity companies—municipal issuers, underwriters, and bond purchasers in bond-financed projects. We have extensive experience in project financings serving as counsel to independent power producers, federal and state governments, and government-sponsored enterprises.

  • Eminent Domain
    Eminent Domain For more than 40 years, we have advised and litigated on behalf of property owners faced with condemnation as well as public entities exercising the power of eminent domain. We handle all aspects of condemnation, including pre-taking planning, acquisitions in lieu of condemnation, regulatory and de facto takings, and trial, settlement, and appeals of just compensation and relocation benefits claims. Our work spans project types: highway improvements, airport expansion, open-space acquisitions, transit facilities, port development, and redevelopment projects. Our clients include owners of manufacturing facilities, commercial and residential development sites, shopping centers, office buildings, telecommunications facilities, power stations, and outdoor advertising signs. We also represent state agencies, municipalities, pipeline companies, and utilities in condemnations for public projects. Lawyers in the practice have worked in legal and administrative positions in government agencies with large real estate portfolios and the power of eminent domain, advising on planning, acquisitions, relocation benefits, and condemnation. Our Approach We employ a cross-disciplinary approach, working closely with top-tier appraisers, land planners, architects, engineers, and other professionals to structure claims for compensation in total and partial takings of real property. Our extensive experience in real estate, litigation, and environmental law—combined with our knowledge of local land-use law— enables us to provide comprehensive support in condemnation matters and creative approaches to valuation claims in total and partial takings. We also bring the benefit of a multipractice, national law firm to counsel clients on condemnation-related issues.
