    KNOXVILLE, TN  — The Knoxville Chapter of The Links Incorporated held their annual Black K.A.R.E. Community Health Fair at the Change Center on Saturday March 9th.

    The free event, designed to raise awareness about kidney disease among African Americans also offered testimonials, screenings for blood pressure, kidneys, lung function, chair yoga, and carotid artery function.

    Black K.A.R.E.is a national initiative of The Links to raise awareness and prevention of chronic kidney disease. The letters stand for Kidney Awareness Resources Education. The event shed light on several little-known facts about kidney disease that can be lifesaving including the facts that 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. are at risk for kidney disease.

    The Links, Inc is an international not-for-profit corporation that began in 1946 with a mission to enrich, sustain, and ensure the cultural and economic survival of African Americans and others of African ancestry. The Knoxville Chapter was established in 1970 with a mission to transform the lives of the underprivileged and underserved in the Knoxville community through their facet programs: Health and Human Services, National Trends and Services, Services to Youth, The Arts, and International Trends and Services.

    Kidney Awareness Recourse and Education (K A R.E) is a toolkit offered by the Links and is an important resource as African Americans are three times more likely to experience kidney failure than any other race.
