Nephrology Practice Solutions, a subsidiary of DaVita that owns or manages nephrology practices across the United States, has appointed a new chief medical officer.
According to a press release, Thao Truong Pascual, MD, a practicing nephrologist at Snohomish Kidney Institute in Washington, has already assumed the role in which she will “continue to focus on holistic kidney health.” The institute is affiliated with Nephrology Practice Solutions.
“[Nephrology Practice Solutions] NPS is specifically structured to support nephrology practices caring for medically complex patients in a holistic manner,” Pascual said in the release. “In my new role, I look forward to working side-by-side with nephrologists and care providers to deliver integrated care that can help keep patients healthy and help practices operate more efficiently.”
The release noted that after graduating from Harvard Medical School and completing a nephrology fellowship at hospitals affiliated with the University of Washington, Pascual became the medical director for in-center hemodialysis patients at two DaVita centers.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Pascual as chief medical officer,” DaVita’s chief medical officer Jeff Giullian, MD, said of Pascual’s appointment. “She has a long history with DaVita, and her passion for clinical excellence and innovative care align with our vision to positively change kidney care.
“Moving the industry toward value-based chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease care requires bold medical leadership and a desire to collaborate across the care continuum, which Dr. Pascual offers,” he added.
