Kidney Restorative Foundation
Tackling Disease
Over ten years ago, it became clear that action was needed to address kidney disease and associated conditions as a leading cause of long-term illness and death on the Islands of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
In support of the local community in tackling this disease, the Montrose management in partnership with legal and medical professionals established the Kidney Restorative Foundation
in 2010, to provide medications and dialysis intervention.
While the medical services available to patients have improved, a lot of work still needs to be done. Please join us on our mission.

Kidney Disease - A Personal Story
Kidney disease and related conditions do not discriminate. It can impact families and communities alike.
In 2018 and then again in 2019, the friends of Montrose lost two board members and pillars of the island community to kidney disease.
Cardinal Law Firm was established in 2008 by R. Andrew Cummings QC. A respected member of the legal guild. QC Cummings passed in 2018.
Mr. Decent Henry up until his death in March 2019, was an advocate and supporter of those fighting kidney disease, providing assistance to patients

About the Kidney Restorative Foundation
Montrose is dedicated to improving kidney health and supporting those affected by kidney disease.
In time and with your support we aim to offer transplant and surgery options for patients while continuing to strengthen our commitment to include cancer care for those affected.
Access to Dialysis
Accessing dialysis services on Saint Vincent can be prohibitively expensive for patients, with many going abroad to seek medical help.
The (KRF) Kidney Restorative Foundation is committed to expanding local access to dialysis equipment and trained professionals.
Access to Medications
Having affordable and readily available medications is critical for those affected by kidney disease.
By leveraging the Montrose regional supply network, with advice and guidance from pharmaceutical professionals, we aim to hold local stock of medications to tackle the disease.
