The Mission of the Kidney Stone Collaborative

Dr. Joshua Stern

Video Transcript

Thank you so much for visiting with our community.

We know that kidney stones are painful,

unpredictable, and life-changing.

We want to interrupt this cycle,

which is why we formed this foundation

to build a strong community that connects

and shares and educates.

Our collective path carries a wealth of experiences

that we can use to help ease the burden that stones cause.

We believe research is one of the keys

to unlocking better care for everyone

affected by kidney stones.

Think of it like upgrading the tools

doctors use for treatment.

We can understand why stones form.

We can find new drugs to stop stones even before they grow.

We can develop more precise surgery and ease recovery,

but this research won’t happen without your help.

Every dollar you or your friends

or your family donates helps to develop better treatments,

can prevent repeat kidney stones and improve care.

Join us today and let’s pave the way for a future

free from kidney stones.
