We’re in this together
We know health care can create more questions than answers. Let us help you get the answers you’re looking for.
One of the best things you can do to protect your kidneys is take care of your body. Your VillageHealth care team will be there every step of the way to simplify the process. They will take the time to understand you, your health goals and concerns to help you care for you.

Meet Your Care Team
We pair you with a care team of compassionate, responsive health professionals who know the ins and outs of health care. You’ll never feel alone with VillageHealth by your side.
Care Coordinator
Your care coordinator helps listen to your health goals and helps you meet them. Their personalized support includes sharing updates about your health with your doctor and getting you the most from your insurance benefits.
Registered Nurse (RN)
Your nurse listens to your concerns and helps you get the care you’re looking for. Your nurse works directly with your doctors to help you stay on track with your care plan—addressing any needs or questions along the way.
Nurse Practitioner (NP)
Your NP starts with a one-to-one phone call to get to know you and your health needs. Your NP will take the time necessary—no matter how long or short—to listen to all your concerns.
Engagement Specialist
Your engagement specialist explains the program, makes sure you know what to expect and gets you set up with what you need. When you’re ready, your engagement specialist will introduce you to your care team!
Finding the Right Treatment
Kidneys filter toxins and extra fluid out of your blood. If your kidneys don’t work well, treatment options can replace their work: dialysis in a clinic, dialysis in your home or a kidney transplant. No treatment can make your kidneys work again.
5 questions to help choose a treatment:
- Do you have any kidney function left?
- Do you need flexibility (for work, family, activities)?
- Is travel important to you?
- Are you uncomfortable with needles?
- Does dialysis at home (with training) interest you?
Think about your answers and talk with your doctor. Your VillageHealth care team is also here to answer questions and give you resources to help with your decision. Click the button below to compare your options.
Are your kidneys working correctly?
Early-stage kidney disease doesn’t usually show symptoms. A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) blood test shows your level of kidney function. Understanding your GFR can help you learn how to take control and possibly slow your condition’s progression.
Check out this online tool from DaVita that calculates your GFR using your creatinine levels, age and gender.
