Strive Health & Prominence Health Plan Partner To Improve Kidney Care

Strive Health partnered with Prominence Health Plan and Sierra Nevada Specialty Care, a nephrology clinic, on an initiative to improve care for Prominence health plan members with kidney disease. The initiative will focus on members with chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease.

Strive Health clinicians will work closely with primary care physicians, nephrologists, and transplant specialists in the Prominence and Sierra Nevada Specialty Care networks to ensure that patients have a seamless care journey. Patients will benefit from 24-hour access to a specialized care team, including telehealth visits and care coordination. The goal is to deliver a clinical care model that helps patients slow the progression of the disease and preserve their kidney function for as long as possible.

“We look forward to working with Prominence Health Plan and Sierra Nevada Specialty Care to ensure that people with kidney disease in Nevada have the best options for care available to them,” said Chris Riopelle, co-founder and CEO of Strive Health. “We want patients to know that there is a team of people who can support them in their journey.”
