Having Options Improves Health Outcomes – Dialysis Is Not Your Only Choice

Cathy Smith was struggling with multiple health issues, including kidney disease, heart disease, and diabetes. After seeing various specialists across the fragmented healthcare space, she engaged with Monogram Health for a more personalized and comprehensive evaluation. A palliative specialist with Monogram Health met with Ms. Smith and her family to discuss alternative treatments to dialysis – such as medical dialysis (i.e., aggressive medication management coupled with polychronic treatments/monitoring). By additionally treating the other present, complex health issues associated with Ms. Cathy’s diagnosis, Monogram Health was able to keep Ms. Cathy’s kidney function where they were.
