Autor : Strive Health

DENVER 5 de enero de 2021 Strive Health, el líder nacional en atención renal basada en el valor, ha anunciado hoy que Rich Whitney se ha unido al Consejo de Administración de la compañía. Actualmente es presidente y director general de Radiology Partners.

“Rich es un líder sanitario y empresario con gran experiencia que ha estado a la vanguardia del cambio en muchas áreas de la prestación sanitaria, incluida la atención renal”, dijo Chris Riopelle, director general de Strive Health. “Aporta una profundidad y un conocimiento del mercado extraordinarios que complementan nuestro enfoque innovador de la atención renal basada en el valor. Rich será un activo para nuestro consejo de administración y será fundamental en nuestra próxima fase de crecimiento.”

Rich ha dedicado su carrera a los servicios sanitarios, estableciendo un largo historial de liderazgo, fundación e inversión en organizaciones sanitarias que han realizado cambios significativos. En Radiology Partners, ha dirigido la empresa desde su inicio hasta los 2.000 millones de dólares de ingresos aproximadamente. Como director financiero y asesor principal del director general del proveedor de diálisis renal, DaVita, Inc., Rich contribuyó al crecimiento de la empresa hasta alcanzar los 11.000 millones de dólares de ingresos y más de 20.000 millones de dólares de valor empresarial.

Desde mediados de la década de 2000, Rich también ha sido inversor, director y/o presidente de empresas sanitarias en áreas como la patología, los servicios médicos, los laboratorios clínicos, la diálisis, los hospitales y la salud mental. En la actualidad, forma parte del Consejo de CHG Healthcare y de National Veterinary Associates, y también es socio y asesor de NEA desde 2007.

“El tratamiento de la enfermedad renal es costoso y ofrece muchas oportunidades para mejorar el recorrido del paciente”, dijo Whitney. “Strive Health está transformando el enfoque tradicional de la atención renal con tecnología avanzada y equipos de atención de alto nivel que reducen los costes y ayudan a los pacientes a llevar una vida mejor. Me entusiasma unirme a la Junta y trabajar con el equipo”.

La enfermedad renal afecta a 37 millones de estadounidenses, la mayoría de los cuales desconocen que la padecen. Se requiere un enfoque proactivo y basado en el valor para una intervención más temprana que promueva la salud y el bienestar del paciente. Strive Health integra la tecnología, incluidos los algoritmos de aprendizaje automático patentados, y la infraestructura clínica para mejorar los resultados de salud de los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) y enfermedad renal terminal (ERT).

Food for your kidneys shouldn't feel like a punishment. I build a nutrition plan around your real life and help you make small changes that stick, not stark rules that don't fit. I'm here with ongoing encouragement, so you don't have to navigate your health journey alone.

Lyndsey Edwards, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Whatever weighs on you, you don't have to carry it alone. I offer a space to talk through fear, grief, stress and uncertainty without judgment, then connect you to resources and support that fit your needs. In every care decision, your voice matters most, and I make sure it's heard.

Rhonda Washington, MSN, CRNP

Nurse Practitioner

You'll always have someone in your corner who knows your full story. I coordinate your care across nephrologists, primary care providers and your wider team to catch problems early. When it's time to weigh treatment options, I walk you through each one, so you choose what's right for you.
