AAKP has a national award program designed to recognize the expanded power and impact social media, patient engagement and patient advocacy are having on public policy and health care delivery. Through these awards, AAKP plans to recognize and expand the number of key influencers working to inform all Americans about kidney disease, individuals and institutions advancing the health interests of kidney patients and patient leaders who mobilize fellow kidney patients to make an impact on future health outcomes. The awards are an initiative under the AAKP Center for Patient Engagement and Advocacy, a new center dedicated to providing online advocacy tools, social media training, certification for patient advocates and links to federal agency patient engagement opportunities.
