March 8, 2023 — Panoramic Health, kidney care’s leading integrated provider group, has expanded in Texas through a partnership with leading Houston practice, Nephrology, Dialysis & Transplantation Associates, P.A at The Kidney Institute (TKI), and the strategic acquisition of its affiliated vascular access center, North Shepherd Dialysis Access Center. Panoramic Health is partnered with leading nephrology providers in the Greater Houston area, including interventional and surgical care teams.
With the acquisition of the North Shepherd Dialysis Access Center through its surgical center division, Panoramic Health continues to build an ecosystem that enables high-quality, cost-efficient care coordination and delivery for its patients with CKD and ESKD to best serve patients across the continuum of care. To deliver on the broad range of patient needs, Panoramic Health is converting the North Shepherd Dialysis Access Center into a fully licensed Ambulatory Surgical Center.
The partnership with TKI and the acquisition of the North Shepherd Dialysis Access Center are the most recent developments in Panoramic Health’s rigorous Texas growth. Panoramic Health’s physician-led platform currently serves more than 75,000 patients in Texas through partnerships with leading nephrology practices in key geographies such as Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and West Texas. The most recent announcements include partnerships with Renal Associates P.A. in San Antonio, Renal Specialists of Houston, and Permian Basin Kidney Center in West Texas with continued growth in major Texas metropolitan areas on the horizon.
“Our partnership with TKI and the addition of the North Shepherd Dialysis Access Center are both incredible highlights amongst our rapid growth in Texas”, said Rajiv Poduval, M.D., FASN, co-founder and CEO of Panoramic Health. “With the access center creating a key piece within the care delivery ecosystem, our physician partners and aligned surgical and interventional care teams will be able to provide higher quality care in a lower cost setting to drive better outcomes, lower readmission rates and, ultimately, improve quality of life”.
“We are thrilled to join Panoramic Health’s physician-led platform, creating more opportunities to deliver better care and improve the lives of patients with chronic kidney disease in the Houston area,” said Dr. George Nassar of TKI. “As kidney care continues to evolve, I am confident their integrated platform will lead the pack in transforming the nephrology ecosystem.”
