Evergreen Nephrology and Western Nephrology Partner to Raise the Standard of Kidney Care

NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Evergreen Nephrology, the leader in value-based kidney care, is thrilled to announce a partnership with Western Nephrology, a leading nephrology practice in the metro areas of Denver and Boulder, Colorado.

As an estimated 37 million adults in the US are living with kidney disease, this collaboration marks a significant step in raising the standard of kidney-care for the people Western Nephrology serves. This will be accomplished as the two organizations work to implement a comprehensive value-based-care model that emphasizes proactive, personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique requirements. Through advanced data analytics, cutting-edge technology, and collaborative care practices, patients will benefit from a holistic approach to kidney care that prioritizes their well-being and fosters improved health outcomes.

"Western Nephrology prides itself on addressing all the health needs of people living with kidney disease," said Western Nephrology President, Matthew Esson, MD. "Evergreen Nephrology's approach to proactively identifying health needs, in addition to making necessary services more accessible to patients, reinforces the reputation of Western Nephrology as a clinical leader across the Denver area."

Western Nephrology is the third nephrology practice in Colorado to join with Evergreen in providing innovative, value-based-care strategies for people living with kidney disease. (Colorado Kidney Care in Denver, and The Nephrology Clinic in Fort Collins announced their partnerships in 2022 with Evergreen.) This breadth of coverage allows eligible patients to receive access to Evergreen's services across the Front Range, from South of Denver to the Wyoming border.

"We are excited to expand our reach and support more patients in Colorado who are living with kidney disease," explains Evergreen Nephrology President, Heather Trafton. "Evergreen's patient-centric approach ensures that we meet each patient where they are in their kidney-care journey, which will look different for each person. Working closely with our nephrology partners to provide personalized care plans for each patient improves outcomes and quality of life for those we serve."
