Improve patient quality of life

Reduce hospitalizations to extend lifespans.

For those living with kidney disease, avoiding the hospital is a potent indicator of improved quality of life, reflecting more sustained periods 
of stable well-being 
and more effective management of disease complications. Over the coming five years, we commit to reducing the average hospitalization rate among the patients we serve, as measured against a 2025 baseline.

Narrow health disparities

Increase home dialysis and transplant rates for underserved populations.

We are tackling head-on the persistent reality that underserved populations experience lower rates of home dialysis and transplantation. We commit to reducing these disparities, consistent with our goal of providing industry-leading care for every patient.

Applying methodology recommended by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to identify patients considered “underserved,” we will track key metrics for underserved and the broader patient populations to assess and report on our progress in narrowing the gap.
