Evergreen Nephrology and Nephrology Associates of Central Florida Partnering to Bring a New Standard of Kidney Care to Patients

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Evergreen Nephrology and Nephrology Associates of Central Florida announce a partnership to raise the standard of kidney care in the Orlando area. The new partnership will offer a multi-dimensional approach for people living with kidney disease, caring for the whole person beyond their physical health.

With an estimated 37 million adults in the US living with kidney disease, Evergreen and partners like Nephrology Associate of Central Florida have many opportunities to positively impact the lives of people like Max Wood. At the time Evergreen started working with Max's nephrologist, Max had been suffering from chronic kidney disease for over nine years.

"The Evergreen program can make a huge difference in the lives of all of us patients," Max explained. "I believe this program can substantially impact the lives of us with [chronic kidney disease] with earlier intervention and added support. The bottom line: I am a huge fan of this program." 

"Kidney disease is a significant, life-altering event that impacts all aspects of a person's life – and that of their loved ones," explains Craig Goguen, CEO at Evergreen Nephrology. "Working as a team, Evergreen Nephrology and Nephrology Associates of Central Florida will offer a new, patient-centered approach to caring for those living with chronic kidney disease in Central Florida, ensuring that each patient receives care that is tailored to their specific needs."
