Wanting more
autonomy, some local medical workers split off last year from the National
Kidney Foundation and formed an independent group based in Hopkinsville
It let them continue providing services for renal failure

treasurer.
The group is using its newfound
freedom to create an annual picnic for dialysis patients and staff. This year’s
picnic, scheduled for Sept. 16 at the A.W. Watts Senior Center
