HNI and FRN are both leading independent nephrology practices providing services chronic kidney disease management, dialysis, and related services across Southern New England.
“Partnering with Panoramic Health gives us access to valuable operational and clinical support tools, while allowing us to remain independent and at the center of care delivery,” said Keith Bartolomei, M.D., the leading Nephrology Specialist at HNI. “We look forward to strengthening our CKD and ESKD tools for patients in New England.”
Dr. Bartolomei has more than 15 years of experience in the medical field. Along with practicing nephrology, he is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Brown University.
“As the field of nephrology continues to evolve, working with Panoramic Health is a natural fit,” said Swetha Nataraj, M.D., managing partner at FRN.

Dr. Zuniga has been practicing nephrology for 18 years. She completed her internal medicine residency at Pinnacle Health and her renal fellowship at Brown University.
Poduval added, “We are thrilled to see our continued growth across New England. Both HNI and FRN share in the Panoramic vision to provide the highest level of patient care through the support of data, analytics, and care coordination. Panoramic Health’s unique partnership model allows physicians to retain ownership in their practice while aligning interests through ownership in Panoramic Health at the national level. This structure, we believe, is attractive to high-quality nephrology groups like HNI and FRN throughout the U.S.”
