Network of Ethnic Physician Organizations Opposes Proposition 8 – the Dangerous Dialysis Proposition
The #NoProp8 coalition continues to grow. The Network of Ethnic Physician Organizations (NEPO) officially opposes Prop 8 and has joined the #NoProp8 coalition. NEPO is coalition of more than 40 ethnic physician organizations in California.
Dr. Margaret Juarez, president of the Network of Ethnic Physician Organizations, stated, “Prop 8 is dangerous for all dialysis patients, and particularly for communities of color who have a higher incidence of kidney disease, and who live in areas where access to dialysis care is already strained. By forcing dialysis clinic reductions and closures, Prop 8 jeopardizes access to care for patients who need this critical treatment to survive.”
