mEET THE bEARS
Our mascots, The MinMinBears, are the stars of the show and work hard every day to bring comfort to patients and their families, while also educating those affected by kidney disease. Our bears are unique to the kidney community because of the approach we take to utilize each one to teach about the various roles that people might play in the kidney story, from the patient to the care team.
Scroll down to learn more about how each bear tells their own unique story and how they make a difference in the lives of patients all over the country.
