(2) It is estimated that a number of citizens of this state annually are confronted with chronic kidney disease requiring complicated and expensive treatment which is often beyond the financial resources of the individuals.
(3) There is a critical shortage of adequate facilities within the state for the discovery, evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of individuals suffering from chronic kidney disease.
