The Inker Family Fund
2011 Inker Fund Updates
-
Administration of the Inker Family Fund began in 2011. A committee comprised of Dr. Perrone, Kathleen Murray, MSW (dialysis social worker), Katie Saunders, MSW (transplant social worker), and Linda Mazzola, RN (pediatric nephrology nurse) has the discretion to easily meet patient needs based on the Inker Family Fund criteria. Funds are available to provide emergency support to patients with kidney disease for which there are no other sources of support.
