Our Mission

What You Can Expect In PCKC

Kidney Disease Education

PRINE has developed a curriculum of kidney education classes called PRINEd. The goal is to improve everyone's kidney health knowledge.

Engagement Building

The level of engagement corresponds with patient satisfaction and better outcomes. Patients in PCKC have care plans tailored to their specific needs based on engagement levels. We understand every patient is different, so we take an individualized approach to increasing engagement.

Depression Screening

Depression has a high prevalence (estimated at 22-40%) in Chronic Kidney Disease. The PRINE Care team actively screens all patients in our PCKC program and facilitates additional care or referrals when necessary.

Care Management Support

You will be assigned a PRINE Care Manager. Our goal is to empower you to actively participate in your care and keep you as healthy as possible. Your Care Manager will reach out regularly, coordinating and overseeing your care while working with you and your Nephrologist to achieve optimal kidney outcomes.
