Also attending ADC are Satellite Healthcare’s PATHfinders, highly trained and compassionate patient liaisons who assist CKD patients starting down the path to dialysis.  Learn more about Satellite Healthcare at booth #232.

**Awarded Best Nursing Abstract

“World Kidney Day is a time for us to remember that kidney health affects people in very personal ways.  Our mission is to make life better for those living with kidney disease, and we are doing that with Laugh Out Loud HD and additional services for our patients through the PATHfinder program,” said Dr. Brigitte Schiller, chief medical officer at Satellite Healthcare.  “The presentations that we are giving at ADC all have one thing in common: they address best practices to provide individualized care and support the well-being of our patients both physically and psychosocially.”

PATHfinders provide education on treatment options, support patient decision making, navigate appointments (including access surgery), introduce the dialysis training team and follow patients upon admission to a dialysis center through the dialysis journey. PATHfinders ensure that each patient’s personal goals and desires align to optimize their health.

“I want each patient to know that everyone at Satellite Healthcare is here to help them live their best life possible,” said Chaquita Shannon, LMSW, Satellite Healthcare PATHfinder. “Regardless of illness or disability, each of us can have a life with meaning and moments of joy.”

PATHfinders are Satellite Healthcare’s latest innovation and a part of its Re-Imagine Home Initiative aimed at doubling its industry-leading proportion of patients who dialyze at home from 20 to 40 percent. Patients who dialyze at home have been found to lead longer and healthier lives.
