The Heart & Kidney Care Alliance is a collaborative panel of inspiring people from around the globe who are living with lifelong conditions. Drawing from their personal experiences living with diabetes, heart disease or kidney disease, the panel offers support to others on similar journeys. The Heart & Kidney Care Alliance is organized and funded by Bayer plc.
The Heart & Kidney Care Alliance was created by people living with diabetes, heart disease or kidney disease, to share their experiences and the challenges they may encounter on their disease journey. The Alliance aims to connect individuals looking for support and information with helpful resources, including videos of patient advocates and trusted resources from leading patient organizations.
Our mission is to empower and educate patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to meet the needs of those living with diabetes, heart disease, or kidney disease. We aim to build a community where people can learn how these conditions are connected, share their stories, and find support with their health journeys.
The Heart & Kidney Care Alliance is made up of a diverse, global group of patient advocates representing diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease organizations. Each member brings firsthand, personal experience of living with a lifelong condition, along with valuable insights into navigating healthcare systems. This collective, unique perspective allows the Heart & Kidney Care Alliance to provide patient-centered support to those who may be on similar journeys.
No, we only share personal experiences and recommend that people always consult with a healthcare professional for medical advice. However, many people find our shared journeys helpful for preparing for appointments, understanding options, and asking their healthcare providers better questions.
The panel shares their experiences on a variety of topics including:
– Managing multiple conditions related to the heart and kidneys, and diabetes
– Dealing with the management and day-to-day impacts of our chronic conditions
– Building a support network

Learning more about the condition from patient advocates can help you feel more confident and better equipped to manage it. We’ve created this website to help you find insights from patients on managing diabetes, heart disease, or kidney disease and how to have effective conversations with healthcare providers. In the “Get Support” section, you’ll find links to patient organization websites where you can learn more about these conditions and how you can get involved.
Hear our patient advocates and panel members discuss their personal stories and what they wish they knew before they were diagnosed with diabetes, heart disease, or kidney disease – and what they want you to know, whether you are a patient, a caregiver, or a healthcare professional.
No, we only share personal experiences and recommend that you and the person you care for always consult with a healthcare professional for medical advice.

Diseases of the heart and kidneys, and diabetes share common causes and mechanisms. Problems in one area may affect the others. That’s why it’s important to treat them together. Our hope is that we can help you understand this better by sharing the first-hand experiences of people who understand these connections personally.
