Giving to Yale Nephrology

The faculty and staff of Nephrology are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality, compassionate care. We have extensive programs in patient care, research, and education. The Section of Nephrology is committed to excellence in each of these three activities with the goal for both our faculty and our trainees to be national and international leaders in the field of academic nephrology. We are working hard to save lives and to change lives for the better.

We count on your generous support to help us accomplish our goals. The vision for our department is to provide state-of-the-art care, to train future leaders, and to discover new and novel approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease conditions in a safe environment that respects the patient and family, and treats all with compassion and kindness. A gift of any amount is vital to our mission and goals in Yale Nephrology.

Below are some examples of how philanthropy can be used to help our missions of research, clinical care, and education.

Endowed professorships are the highest honor Yale School of Medicine can bestow upon a faculty member who is distinguished as a leader in medicine. Funding from endowed professorships provide secure, flexible support for a distinguished faculty member’s research and scholarly activities. A professorship can be named for a donor or a loved one, creating an enduring tribute to individual generosity.

Lecture series play an important role in our academic life at Yale School of Medicine. A named endowed lectureship ensures that the Section of Nephrology will have a perpetual financial stream to support scholarly lectures by distinguished leaders in a particular specialty.

The Section of Nephrology is committed to improving patient outcomes. It is important that we continue our deep commitment to research where we continue to be a leader.
