Nephrology

The Inker Family Fund was created in 2010 through the generosity of Lesley Inker, MD and Ben Inker, in honor of their wedding on January 16, 2011. The Inker Family Fund is under the direction of Dr. Sarnak, with an initial goal to provide emergency medically necessary support to patients with kidney disease for which there are no other sources of support.

A committee comprised of clinicians, nurses and social workers has the discretion to meet patient’s needs based on the Inker Family Fund criteria. 

We are extremely honored by the following Founding Gifts to the Inker Family Fund:
