Our Reason for Being
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often asymptomatic until it has progressed dangerously far. Too often patients simply “crash” into the emergency room, learning for the first time that their kidneys have failed, and they need dialysis to survive. This leaves patients blindsided and greatly affects their quality of life. And it’s also a complex driver of healthcare costs.
We know there is a better way. Interwell Health formed a year ago with a mission to reimagine kidney care and help patients live their best lives. We work in the best interests of our partners and patients, authentically and with transparency. We equip people with the information and control they need to make the best choices for their health and their lives.
Message from Our Leadership Team
No one plans to be diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. It can turn a person’s world upside down, bringing uncertainty and worry into their life. But with the right planning, we can help alleviate that uncertainty and fear.
Imagine if—when you received a kidney disease diagnosis—you learned people were already working behind the scenes to help you get better. At Interwell Health, we’re making this vision a reality.
We are reimagining the way healthcare is delivered so we can help patients live their best lives. By detecting kidney disease earlier, we’re connecting patients and doctors sooner, giving them time to develop a proactive, personalized care plan.
You may ask, well, how do you do that? We’ve found a better way to partner with providers, delivering the technology and support they need to help patients navigate chronic kidney disease. Our visionary care model puts nephrologists at the center of the care team and patients at the center of the care.
You may also ask, what’s the impact? Through our partnerships, scale, and experience, we’re delivering results that matter. We are dramatically increasing planned starts on dialysis, especially home dialysis, and driving down hospitalizations. And we’re committed to continuing to help more patients receive a kidney transplant.
If you’re wondering why we’re so confident, it’s because we believe in our team. We’ve gathered the best and brightest to lead the way, and we believe in our ability to make a difference, together.
We expect more. We celebrate more. We are Interwell Health.
