Eugene and Susan Sherman made a generous donation to the UNC Cardiovasulcar Kidney Metabolic (CKM) Syndrome Clinic. CKM Syndrome is a health condition that connects problems with the heart, kidneys, and metabolism. It often includes diseases like heart problems, kidney issues, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. These problems can exacerbate one another, leading\u00a0to serious health risks like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure.<\/p>\n

The CKM Clinic brings together experts in various fields including cardiology, endocrinology, and nephrology, and is designed to offer personalized care and treatment to people with these overlapping conditions. The funding will provide support for streamlining referrals, creating educational resources and assisting patients with receiving timely speciality care.<\/p>\n

The Shermans hope that others will see the value of this multi-specialty effort and the vision of improving the care and outcomes of CKM patients nationwide. Learn more about the CKM clinic here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
