Connecting the Kidney Care Dots

STRIVE HEALTH

A Formula for Active Care Delivery

A live conversation on how active, whole-person kidney care connects the right team, the right data and the right intervention to change outcomes for people with kidney disease.

People with kidney disease often manage cardiovascular, metabolic and social needs at the same time. When care is organized around isolated diagnoses, complexity grows for patients, providers and health plans. In this conversation, Strive Health’s Chief Medical Officer and Chief Nephrologist share how a connected model changes the trajectory.

"You'll always have someone in your corner who knows your full story. I adjust your medications, order labs and 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."
