Do you know your blood pressure numbers? 💚

Blood pressure is more than a number you get at a doctor’s appointment. Tracking your readings over time can help you recognize patterns and give you useful information to discuss with your healthcare team.

The Ames Foundation’s Know Your Numbers web app gives you a simple place to record your health information, learn what your numbers mean, and prepare for conversations about your health.

💚 Track your health. Be informed. Be aware.

No special equipment from us is required—if you already monitor your blood pressure at home, you can start tracking today.

Know your numbers. Know your health. Start tracking today.

Every kidney journey is personal—and every story deserves to be heard. 💚

Thank you Reginald Ballard, for sharing your experience with kidney disease, dialysis, and transplantation, and for recognizing the work of Ames Foundation. Stories like this give hope to those who may still be waiting for their light at the end of the tunnel.

A kidney transplant is not the end of the journey, but it can offer a renewed opportunity for life. We remain committed to kidney-health education, early detection, patient support, and organ-donor awareness throughout our community.
