Featured on the March 21st, 2019 edition of ARIZONA SPOTLIGHT with host Mark McLemore:

  • March is National Kidney Month, and estimates indicate that as many as 1 in 7 adults lives with kidney disease. Mark talks with Erica, a Tucson woman whose family is coping with a hereditary kidney illness that seriously impacts their health, eventually requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant. Pat McReynolds of the National Kidney Foundation of Arizona offers some suggestions about how the public can help those in need, including The Erma Bombeck Project.
