Canadians navigating kidney failure often face serious financial challenges. Dialysis in particular often leads to a drop in income just as out-of-pocket costs begin to rise, such as transportation to receive care, medication, and others.

Across Canada, government coverage and financial support for people who need dialysis or a kidney transplant vary widely. These differences can leave patients and families facing an additional financial burden depending on where they live.

To help shine a light on these inequities, The Kidney Foundation of Canada and the Canadian Association of Nephrology Social Workers (CANSW) have launched a new survey of Canadians affected by kidney disease. The survey will help capture the current financial realities of people living with kidney failure.

The results will be used to update the 2018 Report on the Financial Burden of Kidney Disease and strengthen advocacy efforts aimed at improving support for patients and families across the country. Take the survey today and help make a difference: https://bit.ly/SURV-Fina-Bur-2025

This survey is 100% anonymous and voluntary. Under 10 minutes to complete.

CANNT has been focused on creating updated modules to support nurses interested in their specialty certification. In 2024, CANNT learned about Elevate Nursing Academy modules that were created by long-time CANNT Member, Janett Black, and CANNT is pleased to offer CANNT Members a discount to these modules for any members interested in the Elevate Nursing Academy exam prep course.

Janett has been a nurse for over 30 years in many hospitals across the greater Toronto Region and has gained a wide range of experiences across multiple nursing specialties. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Masters in Health Studies degree and has over 14 years’ experience in the field of Nephrology. Janett has vast experiences as a renal Nurse Educator and Patient Care Manager in many renal units in the Toronto area. Janett has taught the Nephrology certification courses at a local Toronto college since 2013 and currently works as the Patient Care Manager on a medical/renal unit in a local Toronto hospital. She is certified in the specialty of Nephrology (CNeph(C)) and Gerontology (GNCC) through the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA).

One of Janett’s greatest passions is teaching; especially as it relates to Renal Nursing. She is the Founder & CEO of Elevate Nursing Academy; an on-line educational institution whose mission is to prepare and support nurses who are seeking specialty certification through the Canadian Nurses’ Association in the field of nephrology.
