We constantly evaluate our organization and the progress we make in fulfilling our mission of
preventing kidney disease and improving the lives of those living with it. We are pleased to
report that during the past year we have provided programs and services to more than 100,000
people. New programs designed to help people live healthier and happier lives have been
developed and implemented. Our voice in helping to shape public policy has never been stronger.
Funding all that we do is a challenge, yet we raised and invested more revenue than the previous
year. We are proud of the fact that the NKFM is successful but, there is so much more to do.
The statistics around kidney disease continue to be startling but improving those numbers and
the lives they represent is our constant focus. More than 900,000 adults in Michigan have CKD,
largely due to uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure, and most don’t know it. One in
three children born in the US in 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime. Those numbers are
too large and cause too much suffering. Our number one priority for the last decade has been
the prevention of CKD because it is clear that most cases of kidney failure can be prevented or
delayed.
Our time tested prevention programs, such as Healthy Hair starts with a Healthy Body™, along
with our newer prevention programs such as Healthy Families Start with You, Regie’s Rainbow
Adventure™, PATH and EnhanceFitness, are changing behaviors now to reduce the risks that lead
to kidney failure in the future.
Daniel M. Carney
President and CEO
Staying vigilant by diversifying our funding has been a successful pursuit. We were proud to
receive a 5 year grant from the Centers for Disease Control to assess diabetes disparities in three
Michigan communities by forming coalitions to work toward the policy and environmental
change that allow African American adults with diabetes to form healthier habits. The NKFM
also continued its work on a grant from the Office on Women’s Health to improve social
support and increase health literacy and health management with African American women in
Inkster; two grants through the Michigan Nutrition Network to support our community-based
prevention programs; and a federal grant from the Department of Transplantation for an organ
and tissue donation intervention.
Advocacy on behalf of our constituency, which we’ve worked so hard on over the past 56 years,
has never been more important. We’ve been actively engaged in the healthcare discussion on the
local, state and national level. We’ve spoken on behalf of those whose lives are forever changed by
kidney disease and we have spoken to those who have the power to make a difference.
The best nonprofits have great programs and are effectively managed. The NKFM is among the
elite 5% of U.S. nonprofits with regard to the efficiency and effectiveness of our business practices
and use of funds according to the nation’s leading evaluator of nonprofit organizations, Charity
Navigator. For four consecutive years NKFM has received the highest rating awarded which
Mark E. Behm
differentiates NKFM from its peers and demonstrates the reliability and efficiency of our
Chairman, Board of Directors
services.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the NKFM, it has been an honor to serve the citizens of Michigan for
the past 56 years. Thank you to our committed volunteers and donors for helping us to be the most effective affiliate of
the National Kidney Foundation and for your continued support this past year. Your efforts are making lives better for so
many others!

Addressing Health Disparities
Healthy Kids and Kidneys
Communities Against Diabetes
Healthy Kids and Kidneys (HKK) is an evidenced-based program developed
in 2003 by National Kidney Foundation of Michigan (NKFM) as an
unfunded chronic disease prevention pilot program for sixth grade students.
Since its inception, HKK has served over 3,000 5th–8th grade students in
53 partnering schools throughout Michigan in Wayne, Oakland, and Kent
counties. The HKK program began receiving USDA SNAP-Ed funding
through the Michigan Nutrition Network in 2006.
The National Kidney Foundation of Michigan and its partners are
working extensively within the communities of NW Detroit, Inkster,
and Flint to address social determinants of health to eliminate
diabetes-related health disparities in African American adults. The
overall aim of the project is to decrease the incidence of diabetes and
its related complications. The five-year project began on September 1,
2010. Since then, we have mobilized coalitions, conducted community
needs assessments, and developed a multi-year strategic plan in each
community. The draft strategic plan for the project was submitted
to the CDC on August 31, 2011. The draft plan included strategies
around safe affordable physical activity, healthy nutrition, and
chronic disease management. The final strategic plan is expected to
include these strategies, which have a strong focus on policy, systems,
and environmental change, along with evidence-based program
interventions.
HKK takes place over an 8-week period with presentations on the benefits
of healthy lifestyle habits such as increasing regular physical activity and
eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products.
Community members and experts in the areas of nutrition and physical
activity will deliver this program by volunteering their time as lay health
educators in the classroom. Lay health educators are trained to discuss how
healthy habits can prevent chronic disease including diabetes, hypertension,
and chronic kidney disease.
HKK contains an extensive evaluation component to help assess the
impact of the program on students. This includes comprehensive pre- and
post-program surveys about healthy lifestyle knowledge and behavior
with students as well as comprehensive surveys with parents and teachers.
Since 2003, students participating in the program have consistently
achieved significant knowledge gains on post-surveys. Since incorporating
the behavior change tools with the HKK program evaluation component
in 2009, students have consistently identified positive healthy lifestyle
behavioral changes on post-surveys. Preliminary reports from the 2010–2011
school year show an average of 52% increase in knowledge about reading
nutrition facts labels and understanding the nutrition benefits of fruits,
vegetables, low-fat dairy, and physical activity. During the same year, results
show that students reported an average 66% positive change in healthy
behavior.
The five-year
project began on
September 1, 2010.
Since then, we
have mobilized
coalitions,
conducted
community needs
assessments, and
developed a multiyear strategic plan
in each community.
With current health trends in Michigan, combined with the successes of the
HKK program, the NKFM is ready to expand HKK into new communities.
For the 2011-2012 school year, HKK staff will train new volunteer lay health
educators to deliver the program in schools. The goal of the NKFM is to
provide Healthy Kids and Kidneys to all eligible schools in Michigan, and we
are on our way to achieving this goal.

Connecting to People with Chronic Disease

not as afraid.

Investing in the Future
Diabetes PATH (Personal Action Towards Health)
Public Policy
The National Kidney Foundation of Michigan (NKFM) is helping
people with diabetes to manage their health by offering DiabetesPATH workshops in community settings such as health clinics,
churches, and community centers. Often, people are not able to
attend hospital-based educational programs due to cost and/or lack of
transportation. The NKFM is overcoming such barriers by bringing
Diabetes-PATH directly to the community. This evidence-based
program, also known as the Stanford Diabetes Self-Management
Program, is designed to help participants take charge of the day-today management of their diabetes, minimizing the likelihood of other
long-term health complications.
Throughout the last year, the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan’s
(NKFM) advocacy efforts focused on maintaining state funding for the
Michigan Strategic Plan for the Prevention, Early Detection, and Control of
Chronic Kidney Disease. As Michigan continued to deal with the challenges
of a depressed economy, the NKFM planned carefully for the reduction
in state support of our public health prevention and disease management
programs. Our ability to procure grants from other sources protected our
programs.
Diabetes-PATH is free or low cost and meets once a week for 2 ½
hours over the course of six weeks. The workshop is facilitated by
trained leaders—one or both of whom have diabetes themselves –with
an emphasis on creating personal actions plans and setting practical,
achievable goals. Participants support each other in their plans and
help solve problems in reaching their goals. They learn techniques to
deal with the symptoms of diabetes, including fatigue, pain, hyper/
hypoglycemia, stress, and emotional problems such as depression,
anger, fear, and frustration.
Rep. Randy Richardville 2011
Champion of Hope
Sen. Gregory and Greenfield crew
During the 2010–2011 fiscal year, 43 individuals participated in
Diabetes-PATH workshops. Diabetes-PATH workshops were held
in Oakland, Wayne, and Washtenaw counties with plans to expand
to Genesee, Livingston, Shiawassee and Lapeer. Consistent with our
focus on eliminating diabetes disparities in vulnerable populations,
42% of the participants were African American. Ninety-eight percent
of participants stated that they would continue to use the tools they
learned in the workshop, and 99% would recommend the workshop
to their family and friends. One participant shared at the end of a
workshop, “I am reading labels better. I’m not as afraid. The action
plans really helped. I liked the camaraderie.”
Much of the NKFM’s advocacy is focused on prevention and disease
management programs that:
-Focus on high risk minority populations, especially individuals of
African American heritage
-Target primary prevention to address disease risk factors and
unhealthy lifestyles that can lead to diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
and chronic kidney disease
-Address secondary prevention that is centered around early
detection and treatment of diabetes and hypertension (the two
leading causes of kidney failure)
-Emphasize early detection and treatment of chronic kidney disease
to prevent and/or delay kidney failure
In 2011, the NKFM partnered with our national office to advocate for federal
legislation to expand Medicare’s coverage for immunosuppression drugs for
kidney transplant patients. Ultimately, this legislation would help kidney
transplant recipients to maintain the health of their transplants and lessen
the need for second transplants later in life.
Rep. Richard Hammel
2011 Champion of Hope
6 www.nkfm.org
The Champion of Hope event in May recognized state legislators Senate
Majority Leader Randy Richardville and House Democratic Leader Richard
Hammel and showcased innovative ways to improve health care for people
with kidney disease and its leading causes—diabetes and high blood pressure.
The NKFM gained the support of state and federal legislators by educating
them about the benefits of chronic kidney disease prevention and the
needs of patients with kidney failure. Our “People Like Us Take Action”
volunteers are our best advocates and the strength behind our public policy
advocacy efforts.

Health Care Transplant Program
was honored by the NKFM as
Patient Provider of the Year.
This first time sold out event took
place at the Cultural Center at
St. Nicholas in Grand Rapids and
hosted approximately 325 plus
attendee’s and raised $190,000 to
continue and expand program and
services.
Walks
More than 5,700 individuals laced up their walking shoes and helped
the NKFM make great strides by participating in one of the eight
Kidney Walks held in communities throughout Michigan. With such
committed volunteers, sponsors, staff, and supporters, the Walks
raised $602,000 for the NKFM’s many programs and services. The
Kidney Walk season kicked off in early spring with walks held in
Grand Rapids, Portage, Muskegon, and a family favorite, the Detroit
Zoo in Royal Oak. They were followed by the only summertime Walk
held in the downtown Lansing and ended with fall Walks in Ann Arbor
and Midland.
Thank you to our sponsors, walkers, and volunteers including our
statewide sponsors, Meijer and Fresenius Medical Care. They are the
heart and “sole” of our Kidney Walk success!
Golf
Four prestigious Michigan country clubs were the venues for the 2011
NKF Cadillac Golf Classics. National title sponsor, Cadillac, brought
an added new dimension to this year’s golf outings. Golfers enjoyed a
challenging day of golf along the course followed by an outstanding
dinner served in a room offering a spectacular view of the golf course,
exclusive awards, and spirited live and silent auctions.
The NKF Cadillac Golf Classic is the Premier Amateur Golf Event
for Charity. This year’s golf classics were four of the 40 events held
through the country. The top three teams from each outing were invited to participate in the NKF Cadillac Golf Classic National Finals
held in January at the infamous Pebble Beach Resorts in California.
