Comprehensive Kidney Care
ÅÝܽÊÓƵIKC provides an infrastructure that enables nephrologists to comprehensively meet the holistic health care needs of their kidney patients, including those related to comorbid conditions.
Improving Outcomes for Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
We believe that together nephrologists and ÅÝܽÊÓƵcan improve outcomes for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients. For more information, read about our comprehensive CKD programs here. Our goals include:
