As we prepare to sit down with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving, we want to give thanks to our many colleagues who take time to give back to their communities throughout the year. Last month, a few of our team members spent a volunteer time off day helping drive-thru food bank Food 2 Families distribute donated groceries to their local community in Northwest Arkansas. And that’s just one example! Thank you Scott Hickey, PharmD, Julia Ann Gallegos, LMSW, CCM, Fabbie Camargo, and all of our amazing colleagues living our values by giving back to the people and communities we serve! #WeCare #BetterTogether

Check out what practicing nephrologists think about Acumen and how it enhances their ability to care for those who need them most. https://lnkd.in/eSwhtcqr

Thank you to our partners who joined us this week in Dallas for our annual Partner Summit!

“As I started more of my own patients on home therapies, I quickly realized the benefit as I saw their outcomes and quality of life improve. They seem to be more satisfied and feel more in control as participants in their care. Starting dialysis is a big change, and the less invasive it can be on patients’ daily lives, the better.” In our latest blog, Dr. Ethan Hoerschgen shares how Springfield Nephrology Associates built a culture and care team that promotes home dialysis and how other practices can overcome barriers to increase their home dialysis rates. https://lnkd.in/gz59Zwfq #HomeCareHospiceMonth #PatientCare #EmpoweredPatients
