Kidney Health Outreach for Manitoba

Kidney Health Outreach provides education about kidney health to communities across Manitoba. We receive requests from communities, organizations or health-care providers to provide educational workshops about keeping kidneys healthy.

We generally present to adults including general community presentations, small group presentations or presentations for health-care workers.

Request a Kidney Health Outreach Workshop

To plan and arrange for a workshop in your community, please contact us as much in advance as possible (ideally six to eight weeks). We try to accommodate as many requests as we can, although may not be able to honour every request.

    Please note that the renal program primarily presents to adult audiences. If you have a special request for kids education, please contact us at kidneyhealth@wrha.mb.ca
    Let us know what equipment you have on hand so we know what we may need to bring or if we need to modify the way we present information.
    We can help create graphics and posters for you to print or use online to promote the event.
