Good Cooking for your Kidneys

Join the Central Ohio Chapter of the Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Foundation for a healthy and fun evening on Wednesday, February 22, as we tour the new Giant Eagle Market District alongside a dietician, who will discuss and recommend foods appropriate for people with PKD or other kidney-compromising diseases. After the tour we will take a seat at the demo kitchen and watch a cooking demonstration of a kidney-friendly meal. A Q&A session with the dietician will follow the demonstration.

Please meet at the main entrance of the store at 7 pm.

Giant Eagle Market District is located at 3061 Kingsdale Center, Columbus, OH 43221.
