Executive order provides more options for people with kidney disease BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

For the fi rst time in 46 years, the federal government has taken action to help people with kidney disease. On July 10, Lino Lakes resident and longtime nephrologist Mark Rosenberg, MD, was in Washington to witness President Donald Trump sign an executive order dedicated to advancing American kidney health. “I have been a kidney doctor for 35 years, and this is the most exciting thing that has happened in the kidney field,” Rosenberg explained.

“(The executive order) provides a really bold vision for transforming kidney care. It is an area that hasn't received a lot of attention or new therapies over the last 40 years. By the government declaring it is going to change the way kidney disease is treated, it opens it up to investigators, researchers, venture capitalists (and) companies to now move into this space.” The last time the federal government took action with regard to kidney disease was in 1973, when it agreed that Medicare would cover the costs of kidney

disease, no matter the person's age. “I think for the federal government to show this kind of interest in individuals with kidney disease, and particularly kidney failure, is really unprecedented and opens up a lot of options for kidney patients,” Rosenberg said. Rosenberg is currently president of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN). For the past five years, he has served on its leadership council. He also serves as vice dean for Education and Academic Affairs at SEE EXECUTIVE ORDER, PAGE 2

LINO LAKES — This year's Officer Shawn Silvera Rotary Run is sure to be a fun-fi lled experience for community members from all walks of life — running and fitness enthusiasts, law enforcement and Rotary supporters, families, pet lovers and dogs of all breeds and sizes. The 14th annual event will be Saturday, Aug. 17, during Blue Heron Days. In addition to the main certified, chip-timed 5K run at 8 a.m., new this year will be the Hot Dog Mile at 9 a.m. — which is technically only a half a mile. But who’s counting? The run honors Lino Lakes Police Officer Shawn Silvera, who was killed in the line of duty while assisting in a high-speed chase on I-35W on Sept. 6, 2005. In addition to Officer Silvera, the event honors other officers who have been killed in the line of duty. It also raises money for three beneficiaries, including the Minnesota Law Enforcement Explorers Scholarship Fund, Minnesota Concerns of Police Survivors and Centennial High School STRIVE Scholarship.
