Celebrating Excellence: Meet the Champions of PD
At the heart of every thriving Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) program are some extraordinary people:
- The healthcare professionals who invest their time and resources in educating and supporting patients to ensure their success with PD
- The patients who demonstrate tremendous courage in taking an active role in their care and learning about a whole new therapy
- And the teams at Vantive who go beyond the technology to provide a uniquely comprehensive level of support for patients and clinicians
Our new Champions of PD Program will celebrate examples of these amazing individuals by sharing their stories and expertise. It is an extension of what we do every day. Through our offering of end-to-end digital, clinical and practical solutions, we champion the possibilities that PD brings – supporting equity of access to dialysis options and collaborating with patients, clinicians and providers to empower them to experience their best PD.
