The prevalence of CKD and ESKD represents a public health crisis for the 1 in 7 American adults with CKD and 1 in 3 at risk, and its status quo treatment contributes significantly to higher costs of care and health inequity in the United States.
“The Duo in our name refers to the sacred bond between patient and clinician, but also our innovative partnership model with our clinical peers in the communities we serve. We are extremely selective in our choice of partners and are thrilled to assist DKA in their transition to value-based care,” said Dr. Richard Barager, Chief Medical Officer at Duo Health. “By addressing the unique needs of those with kidney disease through a personalized approach, providing easier access to clinical care and engaging patients more deeply in their treatment plans, we can achieve better health outcomes, reduce the cost of care and offer a better quality of life for patients across Arizona.”
“For decades Desert Kidney Associates has been a mainstay in Arizona and has dedicated itself to providing accessible, compassionate kidney care to the communities we serve,” said Dr. Mandeep Sahani, nephrologist at Desert Kidney Associates. “Our patients have always been at the center of what we do and together with Duo Health, we have an opportunity to expand the reach of our practice, delivering in-home care and a simplified, better-connected healthcare experience. This innovative partnership will help more patients manage their disease to enjoy more healthy days and a better quality of life.”
