National Kidney Foundation Sponsors Golf Classic in Massachusetts


A graduate of the Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Rex Mahnensmith serves as an internal medicine physician at StayWell Health Center in Waterbury, Connecticut. A recipient of several awards and designations, Dr. Rex Mahnensmith earned a Research Fellowship Award from the National Kidney Foundation (NKF).

Founded in 1950, the NKF supports kidney patients and their families while raising awareness about the dangers associated with kidney disease. The organization’s efforts helped create the Kidney Early Evaluation Program, which allowed doctors to study and analyze ways to better treat kidney disease. The organization is now the largest and most comprehensive one dedicated to kidney disease.

The NKF sponsors several fundraising events throughout the year, including golf classics. The NKF Konica Minolta Golf Classic takes place on June 12, 2018, at the Boston Golf Club in Hingham, Massachusetts. Now in its seventh year at the Boston location, the tournament has raised more than $600,000 to support, prevent, raise awareness for, and treat kidney disease. Golfers have a chance to qualify for the national finals at Pebble Beach as well as compete for prizes provided by local and national sponsors.
