Our mission

Student-led service with community at the center

Penn KDSAP (Penn Kidney Disease Screening and Awareness Program) works with community organizations to provide free community health screenings, including a free consultation with a Penn Medicine physician, in underserved neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia. We are the only student organization at the University of Pennsylvania devoted to kidney health and one of few undergraduate organizations to offer medical and clinical service.
