A third of U.S. adults are at high risk for CKM syndrome, but many patients receive fragmented care. Today we are proud to launch an initiative to change that with American College of Physicians, American Diabetes Association, American Society of Nephrology, National Kidney Foundation, STOP Obesity Alliance at The George Washington University- Milken Institute School of Public Health and Cardiometabolic Center Alliance. Over the next four years, the Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Health Initiative will work to implement a person-centered approach to awareness, professional and patient education, and treatment of #CKMSyndrome. #cardiology #nephrology
