The Stone-to-Stone Program
We are proud to announce a new initiative, supported in part by Novonordisk to help support the stone community. While stones are very common, nearly 1 in 10 people have had a stone in the United States, when you are suffering from one, patients can feel hopeless and without enough information. For those who feel like joining our Stone Community or are interested in talking to a Patient Advocate, we invite you to join our Stone-to-Stone program.
If you are interested in either talking to other stone formers or talking to a patient advocate, please see the groups below.
First Time or Recurrent Stone Former
Talking with others that have been in your situation can be valuable and we would like to get you connected to the larger stone community.
Genetic Forms of Kidney Stones
There are several genetic forms of kidney stone disease. We’ll connect you to others with your same situation. In addition, if you have not, please reach out to OHF.
Parents of Children with Kidney Stones
Having a child with stones can be very challenging. Speaking to community members with the same situation can offer comfort and some suggestions.
