Extending life is not enough. We promote optimal health, quality of life and independence.

We put intense focus on improving patient care by increasing coordination among all the professionals who care for each patient, clearer accountability, and better tracking, patient education and infection control. As a result, every major quality indicator is better at Northwest Kidney Centers than the nation as a whole. Most patients choose free home delivery • Our patients live longer. Northwest Kidney Centers’ adjusted mortality, from our specialized pharmacy. taking into account patients’ general health conditions, is 6 percent better than the national average.

• New patients do better. Our adjusted mortality rate for first-year dialysis patients, who are often very vulnerable, is 15 percent better than the nation.

• Our patients receive more transplants. Our transplant rate is 79 percent higher than the national average. Nine percent of our eligible patients received their first kidney transplant this year.

• They have fewer complications. Our patients have 11 percent fewer hospital admissions than the national average, and 8 percent fewer emergency room visits.

• In Renton, we celebrated the opening of a 28-station dialysis clinic in a part of our service area where the number of people with kidney disease is growing fast. We give dialysis treatments there, and we also train patients to self-dialyze at home, so that they can enjoy flexibility and independence.

Do your own research, and learn as much as you can.” Mong Berkowitz L e a r n : e D u c at i o n 7

Donations help us share knowledge to help people prevent kidney disease or find the best treatments for it.

• We launched new free classes about home dialysis called Next Step, to help patients understand the benefits and responsibilities of self-dialysis to make an informed choice.

• Our 5-year-old, free Choices class has resulted in a significant gain in patients who enter dialysis treatment with a planned start rather Nurse Anna Aslanidi discusses technique than in crisis. as Robert Johnson learns to give himself dialysis at home. • All of our dialysis patients get individual counseling with a dietitian to help optimize their body chemistry. This year we initiated medical nutrition therapy for people with earlier-stage kidney disease, and for people with kidney transplants.

• We trained 47 nursing students from the University of Washington, , Highline Community College, Northwest University, and Washington State University; 10 dietetics students worked with our nutrition staff.

• We provided five fellowships for physicians to do advanced kidney study at the University of Washington.

• We hosted our 10th annual Kidney Health Fest for African American Families, focusing on a population at high risk for kidney disease. A total of 730 people attended, receiving health information and free screenings along with entertainment and food.

• We revamped our brand with a new look for our logo, website, newsletters, brochures, signs and presentations. Our branding now reflects the organization’s professionalism and values.

50 years ago, Seattle research made life possible for people with kidney failure. Next up, a cure?

Research gives us hope for the next 50 years and beyond. With Northwest Kidney Centers and other partner institutions, the Kidney Research Institute focuses on cardiovascular complications, diabetic kidney disease, the role healthy lifestyle plays in preventing complications of kidney disease, genetics, acute kidney injury, and novel kidney Tissue samples and data from Northwest replacement therapies such as a wearable . Kidney Centers patients will help Kidney Research Institute scientists advance the Northwest Kidney Centers patients were enrolled this year in several care of future patients. Kidney Research Institute studies. For example:

• Fistula maturation. Our patients are part of a nationwide examination of ways to predict the success of fistulas, which are surgically-made connections in blood vessels that allow repeated needle sticks for dialysis.

• Pomegranate extract. A small pilot trial on dietary supplementation for dialysis patients is under way. Researchers give subjects pomegranate juice, a powerful antioxidant, to see if it reduces their risk of cardiovascular complications – the leading cause of death for people on dialysis. The trial will determine whether the idea bears more study.

The Kidney Research Institute is a collaboration between Northwest Kidney Centers and UW Medicine. It has been awarded more than $30 million in research funding since its founding in 2008. A team of 40 active investigators and support staff are now conducting 30 trials and studies. Visit www.kri.washington.edu.

Darrell Lynch of Federal Way was 41, working construction, in 1988. He usually avoided doctors because he didn’t have insurance, but a week of sickness finally sent him for an exam. He learned he’d had high blood pressure for a while, his kidneys were failing, and he needed dialysis, “I hadn’t even heard the word 24 before,” he remembers. A transplant in 1992 lasted two years. Now he receives years living with dialysis at Northwest Kidney Centers Auburn. “I have learned how to really kidney failure manage my condition,” he says. “I’m 66 and I still feel pretty good. The way I feel right now, I can keep doing this for a good while.” Ned and Joyce Turner g i v e : p H i l a n t h r o p y 11

Our 50th anniversary brought unprecedented support from donors.

Throughout our history, the community has stepped up to support Northwest Kidney Centers’ life-sustaining work on behalf of people with kidney disease.

Our celebration year was energized by generous corporate anniversary sponsorships and gifts by businesses and individuals to our capital campaign. We received 5,000 individual gifts – from 11 percent more donors Joyce Jackson than last year. The Transforming 700 Broadway Campaign surpassed its President and CEO $1.5 million goal to help fund a new kidney resource center. The 10th annual Breakfast of Hope raised a record $450,000, and donations for the year totaled $2,044,141. Thank you for the many ways you support our work.

Ashley Waldron Hutton On the front cover, Ashley with daughter Ella

Ashley Waldron Hutton of Puyallup, a stay-at-home mom, chose to do peritoneal dialysis after her kidneys failed in 2008. She trained at the 700 Broadway center. “I started feeling a little bit better once the toxins were able to get out of my body. Then, unfortunately, my youngest daughter passed away and that consumed my world for a while. I had been thinking about a transplant but put it on hold. Slowly, I got better and reengaged with life.” Now Ashley has finished testing, and each of her three brothers has volunteered to donate a kidney to her. “I’m ready to start a new chapter in my life,” she said.
