Chronic Kidney Disease

Every May, we join millions across the country in recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month—an observance that began in 1949 to fight stigma, expand support, and deepen understanding of mental wellness. At PRINE Health, we believe caring for the mind is just as essential as caring for the body. True wellness begins when both are supported with compassion, connection, and community.

The Power of Connection: “More Good Days, Together”

This year’s theme from Mental Health America—“More Good Days, Together”—reminds us that mental health is not a journey we take alone. Connection with family, friends, colleagues, and care teams can bring hope, healing, and strength. Whether it’s reaching out for support or simply being present for someone who needs to talk, each moment of connection helps build a stronger, healthier community.

Sharing Our Stories: Strength in Every Voice

National Alliance on Mental Illness reinforces this message with its 2026 theme, “In Every Story, There’s Strength.” When people share their experiences, it helps others realize they are not alone—and that seeking help is an act of courage. At PRINE Health, we encourage open, honest conversations between patients, providers, and communities. Listening to one another fosters understanding, reduces stigma, and builds resilience.

A Symbol of Hope: The Color Green

Throughout May, you may notice the color green appearing more often—in ribbons, clothing, and community displays. Green symbolizes renewal, balance, and growth in mental health awareness. It serves as a reminder that healing is possible and that every day offers a chance for renewal, especially when we support one another.

Support Is Here: Taking Action for Your Mental Health

Awareness is important—but access to care is essential. That’s why we want to remind our team that support is already here, private, and within reach.

Through ADP Workforce Now, all employees have access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This resource is free, completely confidential, and designed to support you through life’s challenges. Services include:

• Mental health counseling

You can access the EAP anytime by navigating to:
ADP > Myself > Benefits > Employee Discounts – LifeMart

Whether you’re facing a difficult moment or simply want someone to talk to, this resource is here for you—no matter where you are in your journey.

Together, We Create More Good Days

This May, let’s move beyond awareness and into action. By reaching out, sharing our stories, and using the support systems available to us, we can help ensure that every day holds the possibility of more good days—for ourselves and for each other.

At PRINE Health, our mission has always been clear: deliver comprehensive, compassionate care that improves outcomes and enhances quality of life. While we are widely recognized for our leadership in kidney care, our Vascular Division plays a critical role in supporting the overall health of our patients—especially those living with chronic conditions.

Why Vascular Health Matters

Your vascular system—made up of arteries and veins—circulates blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body. When this system is compromised, it can lead to serious conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), venous insufficiency, or blood clots. These conditions are especially common in patients with diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. 

At PRINE Health, we recognize that vascular health is deeply connected to kidney health and overall wellness. That’s why our Vascular Division is fully integrated into our multidisciplinary care model.

Comprehensive Vascular Services

Our vascular specialists are experts in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions, including:

• Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)
• Dialysis access creation and maintenance
• Circulatory disorders affecting the legs and extremities
• Preventive vascular screenings and evaluations

Our goal is not just treatment—but early detection and proactive management to prevent complications before they arise.

A Multidisciplinary Advantage

What sets PRINE Health apart is our collaborative approach. Unlike traditional care models, our vascular specialists work closely with nephrologists, primary care providers, and other specialists to create a seamless patient experience. 

This coordination is especially important for patients with chronic kidney disease, who often require both vascular access for dialysis and ongoing vascular monitoring. By bringing these services together, we reduce fragmentation and improve outcomes.

Innovation Meets Compassion

PRINE Health combines advanced clinical expertise with innovative care management tools and 24/7 patient support. Our vascular team leverages modern diagnostic techniques and minimally invasive procedures whenever possible, ensuring patients receive effective care with less disruption to their daily lives.

But beyond technology, what truly defines our Vascular Division is our commitment to compassionate care. Every patient receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs and health goals.

Convenient Care Across Long Island and Beyond

With locations serving Nassau County, Long Island, Queens, and surrounding New York communities, PRINE Health makes it easier than ever to access high-quality vascular care close to home.

Putting Patients First—Every Step of the Way

From initial evaluation to long-term management, our Vascular Division is designed to guide patients through every stage of their care journey. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or seeking preventive care, PRINE Health is here to support you.

Hormones play a powerful role in nearly every function of the body—from metabolism and energy levels to growth, mood, and blood sugar control. When hormonal balance is disrupted, it can affect your health in ways that are both subtle and serious.

At PRINE Health, our Endocrinology Division is dedicated to helping patients restore balance, manage chronic conditions, and improve their overall quality of life through personalized, patient-centered care.

Understanding Endocrine Health

The endocrine system is a network of glands that produce and regulate hormones throughout the body. These hormones influence critical processes such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and blood sugar regulation. When this system is disrupted, it can lead to conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, and more. 

At PRINE Health, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating endocrine disorders—recognizing that each patient’s hormonal health is deeply connected to their overall well-being.

Comprehensive Endocrinology Services

Our experienced endocrinology team provides a wide range of services designed to support both diagnosis and long-term management of endocrine conditions. These include:

• Diabetes management and education programs
• Thyroid ultrasound and evaluation
• Bone densitometry for osteoporosis screening
• Continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS)
• Cardiovascular and vascular-related imaging services

These offerings allow us to detect conditions early, monitor progression, and tailor treatment plans to each patient’s needs. 

A Specialized Focus on Diabetes Care

Diabetes is one of the most common endocrine disorders—and one of the most complex to manage effectively. At PRINE Health, we go beyond standard treatment by offering structured diabetes education programs led by experienced clinical staff.

These programs include group classes and individualized support covering:

• Blood sugar monitoring and control
• Nutrition and carbohydrate management
• Lifestyle modifications and exercise
• Preventing complications and long-term risks

By empowering patients with knowledge and support, we help them take control of their condition and improve their daily lives. 

Integrating Endocrinology with Kidney Care

What truly sets PRINE Health apart is our integrated, multidisciplinary model. As a practice deeply rooted in kidney care, we understand the close relationship between endocrine disorders—especially diabetes—and chronic kidney disease.

Our endocrinologists work closely with nephrologists and other specialists to deliver coordinated care, particularly for patients facing diabetic kidney disease. This collaborative approach ensures more effective management and better long-term outcomes. 

Personalized Nutrition and Lifestyle Support

Endocrine health isn’t just about medication—it’s about lifestyle. That’s why PRINE Health offers individualized medical nutrition therapy and counseling tailored to each patient’s unique needs, preferences, and medical history.

From managing diabetes and hypertension to supporting weight management and cardiovascular health, our team develops practical, sustainable plans that fit into real life—not the other way around. 

Compassionate, Patient-First Care

At PRINE Health, we believe that effective care starts with understanding the patient. Our endocrinology providers are committed to:

• Delivering compassionate, individualized treatment
• Supporting patients at every stage of their health journey
• Offering care for both adults and pediatric patients
• Creating a welcoming, supportive environment

Every treatment plan is designed with the patient’s goals, lifestyle, and long-term health in mind.

Convenient Access to Expert Care

With endocrinology locations in Great Neck and New Hyde Park, PRINE Health makes it easy for patients across Nassau County, Long Island, and Queens to access high-quality care close to home.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or seeking answers to new symptoms, our team is here to help you every step of the way.

Your feet are the foundation of your mobility—and when something goes wrong, it can affect every step you take. From everyday discomfort to complex medical conditions, foot and ankle issues can significantly impact your quality of life.

At PRINE Health, our Podiatry Division is dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions of the feet and ankles with a patient-centered, comprehensive approach designed to keep you moving comfortably.

Why Podiatry Matters

Podiatry is a specialized field of medicine focused on the health of the feet, ankles, and lower extremities. Podiatrists diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions—from common issues like bunions and ingrown toenails to more complex concerns such as diabetic foot complications and structural deformities. 

Because foot health is closely connected to overall health, especially in patients with chronic conditions like diabetes or vascular disease, early diagnosis and treatment are essential to preventing complications and preserving mobility.

Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Care

At PRINE Health, our podiatry specialists provide a full spectrum of services to address both routine and complex conditions, including:

• Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
• Bunions, hammertoes, and structural deformities
• Ingrown toenails, corns, and calluses
• Sports injuries and ankle sprains
• Diabetic foot care and wound management
• Arthritis and joint-related foot conditions

Our team focuses on both non-surgical and surgical solutions, tailoring each treatment plan to the patient’s specific condition, lifestyle, and long-term health goals. 

Specialized Care for Diabetic Foot Health

Patients with diabetes face an increased risk of foot complications, including ulcers, infections, and nerve damage. Podiatric care plays a critical role in early detection and prevention, helping reduce the risk of serious outcomes.

At PRINE Health, our podiatry team works closely with endocrinology and vascular specialists to provide coordinated care for diabetic patients—ensuring that circulation, nerve health, and wound healing are carefully managed at every stage.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Better Outcomes

What sets PRINE Health apart is our integrated care model. Foot and ankle issues are often linked to broader health concerns such as circulation problems, kidney disease, and metabolic conditions.

Our podiatrists collaborate with specialists across the organization—including vascular and endocrine teams—to deliver seamless, comprehensive care. This multidisciplinary approach improves outcomes, reduces complications, and enhances the overall patient experience.

Advanced Treatment with a Personalized Touch

From advanced diagnostic tools to minimally invasive procedures, PRINE Health combines modern technology with compassionate care. Many foot and ankle conditions can be effectively treated without surgery through:

• Custom orthotics and footwear recommendations
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Medication and pain management
• Preventive care and routine maintenance

When surgery is necessary, our specialists use precise, evidence-based techniques to promote faster recovery and long-term success.

Convenient, Local Care You Can Trust

With multiple locations serving Long Island, Nassau County, and Queens, PRINE Health makes expert podiatry care easily accessible. Whether you’re dealing with chronic foot pain or a new concern, our team is here to provide timely, effective treatment close to home.

Living with joint pain, autoimmune disease, or chronic inflammation can affect every aspect of daily life—from mobility and energy levels to overall well-being. At PRINE Health, our Rheumatology Division is dedicated to helping patients find relief, regain function, and take control of their health through expert, personalized care.

Understanding Rheumatologic Conditions

Rheumatology focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases that affect the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system. Many of these conditions—such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and osteoporosis—are chronic and require ongoing management.

At PRINE Health, our specialists are experienced in treating a wide spectrum of rheumatologic and autoimmune disorders, combining advanced diagnostics with individualized treatment plans to improve long-term outcomes.

These technologies allow our providers to identify issues earlier and guide more precise, effective treatment plans.

Patients benefit from:

• Coordinated care between physicians and infusion specialists

Our rheumatologists collaborate closely with other specialists to ensure patients receive comprehensive, coordinated treatment—reducing fragmentation and improving outcomes across the board. 

Personalized Treatment Plans for Every Patient

Urologic health plays a vital role in overall well-being, affecting everything from kidney function and urinary health to reproductive health and quality of life. When issues arise, they can be uncomfortable, disruptive, and sometimes serious.

At PRINE Health, our Urology Division provides expert, patient-centered care for a wide range of urologic conditions—combining advanced technology, specialized expertise, and a personalized approach to help patients feel better and live healthier.

Understanding Urologic Health

Urology is a specialized field of medicine focused on the urinary tract system—including the kidneys, bladder, and urethra—as well as the male reproductive system. Conditions affecting these areas can range from common issues like urinary tract infections to more complex concerns such as kidney stones, prostate disorders, and bladder dysfunction. 

At PRINE Health, our urologists are trained to diagnose and treat both routine and complex conditions, offering comprehensive care for patients of all ages.

This multidisciplinary approach helps not only treat kidney stones—but reduce the risk of recurrence over time.

• Smaller incisions and less discomfort
• Faster recovery times
• Reduced risk of complications

From prostate treatments to stone removal and bladder procedures, our team prioritizes effective care with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Our providers take the time to:
