New Organization Aims to Support Kidney Patients with Advocacy and Resources
Hudson, FL, March 17, 2025 --(PR.com)-- The National Kidney Partners (NKP) Foundation, a newly established organization supported by National Kidney Partners, has appointed Carly Hamid as its first Executive Director. Hamid, a kidney transplant recipient, brings a combination of personal experience and professional expertise to the role. Having undergone two years of dialysis before her transplant 12 years ago, she now leads the foundation’s efforts to improve support systems for kidney patients across the country.
Hamid’s background includes nearly a decade in the technology sector, where she focused on operational efficiency, program development, and leadership.
