ATLANTA, GA – LogistiCare, the nation’s largest non-emergency medical transportation broker, today announced the organization and its employees across the country raised and contributed more than $257,000 in 2018 to the National Kidney Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases. The money raised benefits dialysis patients across the United States.
The donation is part of the company’s longstanding commitment to provide monetary support and additional benefits to the National Kidney Foundation for patients suffering from kidney disease and other illnesses. In the past five years, LogistiCare has raised and donated nearly $700,000 for the Foundation from its corporate office and operations centers across the country through Kidney Walk fundraisers and sponsorship of the National Kidney Foundation’s Walk program and golf tournament.
“LogistiCare has demonstrated time and again that they are committed to raising awareness of prevention, early detection and the proper treatment of kidney disease,” said Cara McKinney, executive director of the National Kidney Foundation, serving Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. “The population they serve is often frail and they understand the ongoing need for funds to assist in research for our many programs that support kidney patients.”
