The ExPAND Project, led by Coalition executive members Dr. Dale Lupu and Dr. Alvin "Woody" Moss, aims to educate, empower, and support older adults with kidney disease, regardless of their chosen treatment option.
As part of the ExPAND Project, the research team has collaborated with international kidney disease experts and patient advocates to develop a suite of Kidney Disease Education (KDE) resources designed to encourage effective, shared decision-making. Clinicians may use these KDE materials in their own practice.
