New name, brand tells story of helping people
with kidney disease ‘Thrive On’
Fresenius Medical Care North America (FMCNA), a division of
Fresenius Medical Care (NYSE: FMS) and the nation’s leading
provider of kidney care, hospitalist services and renal products,
announced today that its dialysis service division has a new name:
Fresenius Kidney Care.
“We created this name to better communicate our approach to
helping people with kidney disease thrive and continue doing the
things that matter most to them,” said William Valle, executive
vice president of FMCNA and president of Fresenius Kidney Care. “We
do this by providing high-quality, personalized care, support and
resources to help people lead more meaningful and fulfilled
lives.”
“At FMCNA, we are building a comprehensive network to provide
the full spectrum of care for the chronically ill, including those
with renal disease,” said Ron Kuerbitz, CEO of Fresenius Medical
Care North America. “The Fresenius Kidney Care name underscores the
focus and attention that our caregivers provide to our patients’
unique health needs at more than 2,200 dialysis centers across the
nation.”
Along with the name change, Fresenius Kidney Care has launched a
new, consumer-friendly website at www.freseniuskidneycare.com. The
site offers educational materials and inspiring patient stories,
with the information people most frequently seek: kidney disease
treatment options, how to thrive on dialysis, guidance on eating
well, recipes and more. The site also provides tailored information
to people who are in various stages of kidney disease.
Additionally, Fresenius Kidney Care debuted its social media
channels on Facebook (facebook.com/FreseniusKidneyCare), Twitter
(twitter.com/FreseniusKC) and YouTube
(youtube.com/FreseniusKidneyCareOfficial) to create a community and
engaging content for people living with kidney disease.
“While Fresenius Kidney Care is the new name of our dialysis
division, our culture of innovation and the high-quality clinical
care we’ve provided to people with kidney disease for decades
remains the same,” said Valle. “Our highly-trained and skilled
teams not only care for our patients’ physical needs, they also
empower them to thrive on and live their healthiest, fullest lives
possible.”
