The State of Chronic Kidney Disease in Michigan
“The State of Chronic Kidney Disease” is a two-part tool originally designed to help educate and inform state legislators about obesity, diabetes, and kidney disease in Michigan. It both informs about the challenge of these three epidemics and calls legislators to take action to promote solutions for a healthier Michigan. This document also highlights the successes of state-funded programs for preventing obesity, diabetes and kidney disease.

Chronic Kidney Disease Prevention Strategy in Michigan 2021-2026
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan, together with several private and public organizations and community members, collaborated to create the Chronic Kidney Disease Prevention Strategy in Michigan 2021-2026. This plan calls upon partners in healthcare, government, and communities to direct their efforts toward a common goal for chronic kidney disease prevention and to achieve the plan’s objectives. Ending the public health crisis of chronic kidney disease cannot be accomplished solely by any one organization. Current and potential partners have the opportunity to be engaged in this plan by supporting communities as they work to identify and solve health issues, advocating for a community health worker workforce, and measuring the effectiveness of chronic kidney disease prevention intervention efforts.

The National Kidney Foundation of Michigan (NKFM) and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) developed this public health approach to prevention with the support of many state and local partners. This 3-year initiative had a true and lasting impact on CKD in Michigan.
