Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Health, Kidney Diseases
Mission: The mission of bridge of life (bol) is to improve community health, wellness and vitality, including chronic kidney disease education, prevention and treatment.
Programs: Kidney and primary care - the kidney program provides life-saving treatment to people with end-stage renal disease who have few, if any, options available to them by establishing new or expanding existing dialysis clinics in underserved parts of the world. In-country partners are provided with equipment, procedural training, water systems management, and complete dialysis education to ensure kidney care clinics remain sustainable long after the medical mission has been completed. Bol's primary care program responds to local health needs in communities around the world by partnering with local clinics, hospitals and other organizations to provide access to medical care in rural areas where healthcare is non-accessible. Healthcare services are focused on the specific needs of each community and usually center on women's health, pediatrics, general health, screenings and prevention.
education and prevention program - the focus of this program is the prevention of chronic kidney disease (ckd), a silent epidemic that often has no symptoms. The ckd screening program is unique in that it provides real-time, lab-quality results within minutes and identifies individuals who have signs of kidney impairment. Along with reviewing their personal screening results on site, participants are given a personal education session, receive additional education materials about ckd and prevention tools, and are encouraged to seek medical follow-up as appropriate.
